WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
We shared some potential focuses for 2025 during the Jan. 7 community call, and they each require collaboration within the community. During our upcoming call (Jan. 14, 11 am ET), we will provide a forum to discuss opportunities, meet new potential collaborators and ideally build connections that can spark this work. Everybody is welcome!
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.

OHDSI UPDATES
• Each year, workgroup representatives join a February community call to present the mission, objectives and key results for their respective groups. These 2-4 minute presentations are recorded and posted on the Workgroups homepage on OHDSI.org. Please choose a date to sign up for a February date; once a date has at least 10 workgroups, it will be closed.
• Save The Date! The OHDSI Europe Symposium will be hosted by the OHDSI Belgium Node on 5-7 July 2025 in the “Old Prison” building of Hasselt University in Hasselt, Belgium. Agenda and registration information will be shared when available.
• The next edition of the CBER BEST Seminar Series will be Jan. 15, 2025 at 11 am ET. We are happy to welcome Sonia Hernández-Díaz, MD, DrPH, Professor of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who will provide a talk on “Emulation of Target Trial on Vaccinations During Pregnancy.” More information and the meeting link are available on the CBER BEST series homepage.
• The CDM Survey subgroup invites colleagues who have or are going to design, develop, and/or implement research surveys and use them with the OMOP CDM to share information about those efforts by completing this survey. Your completion of this 10-15 minute survey will provide information to the CDM workgroup about OMOP utilization among survey research teams. The CDM Survey subgroup is a collaborative effort, led by a team at the National Cancer Institute, to develop standardized approaches and best practices for helping research teams better integrate survey data elements into the OMOP common data model. The survey will remain open through mid-January.
• All videos and slides from the main conference of the 2024 OHDSI Global Symposium are now available on the event homepage. You can also find the 136 posters and software demos from our collaborator showcase. Videos of all the tutorials have also been posted.
