WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join our next community call on Tuesday, Jan. 16 (11 am ET) for a session focused on Connections for Collaborations. Working together is the most efficient way for us to achieve the OHDSI mission, and we will try to facilitate connections — both new and established — with a set of breakout sessions to allow you to discuss your current research, hear about other work happening in the community, and potentially find opportunities to collaborate in the future.
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.
