WEEKLY MEETINGS
Please join us this Tuesday, May 25, (11 am ET) for our first “OHDSI Fun” community call. While we try to make each of our Tuesday sessions enjoyable while presenting the exciting efforts within our global network, we are putting the specific focus on community fun next week. What does that mean? Join us May 25 and find out!
Many of you will have the calendar link in your OHDSI Teams environment. If not, you will need the specific meeting link to access the community call; it will also be posted in the main OHDSI Teams environment. As always, if you can’t make it, the recordings will be posted to both our Community Calls page and the General OHDSI Teams recordings folder.
