OHDSI UPDATES

On July 6, we will have a community call focused on getting to know some newer members of the community. Many of you may have found OHDSI within the last year, and you may even participate in some studies or workgroups, but we would like to give people the opportunity to introduce themselves to the broader community. We would enjoy hearing how you got here and how you hope to become involved in the community, and also how you hope the community can help you. If you would be interested in taking part in this, please reach out to Craig Sachson, who is planning the session.
