WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join our Nov. 19 (11 am ET) community call for a session focused on the Evidence Network in Action: the OHDSI Semaglutide Study. The Eye Care & Vision Research workgroup initiated a Semaglutide and NAION study following a JAMA Ophthalmology publication in early July. We will hear from several leaders in the community to show the power of the OHDSI Evidence Network for global research. The following collaborators will lead this session:
• Cindy Cai (Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Hospital) Topic: Semaglutide and NAION: An OHDSI Network Study
• Paul Nagy (Program Director for Graduate Training in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science, Johns Hopkins University) Topic: Evidence Network
• Linying Zhang (Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, Washington University) Topic: Methods
• Anthony Sena (Director, Observational Health Data Analytics, Johnson & Johnson) Topic: Strategus
• Ben Martin (Postdoctoral Fellow, Johns Hopkins University) Topic: Using the Results Schema
• Erik Westlund (Assistant Scientist, Johns Hopkins University) Topic: Using the Results Schema
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.
