WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join our Sept. 17 (11 am ET) community call for a session focused on the Book of OHDSI. Published in 2019, the Book of OHDSI (book.ohdsi.org) was developed by community volunteers to be a central knowledge repository for OHDSI, and it focuses on describing our community, data standards, and tools. It recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, and it remains one of the most frequently used educational resources for both newcomers and veterans.
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
