WEEKLY MEETINGS

Weekly Community Call: It continues to be exciting to see so many people join our Tuesday Community Calls at 11 am ET on MSTeams. This Tuesday will focus on open-source tools for cohort definition. We are excited to hear from Christopher Knoll , who will update the community on the recently released ATLAS 2.8, and Martin Lavallee , who will present his work on CAPR.

We hope you join us again (or for the first time!). You can use this link for the call, or find it and recordings from previous sessions on our Community Calls page.
