Registration is FREE for students (inclusive of post-docs). Participation can be on Zoom or in person. I have promo codes for those who are interested in attending. Send me a ping on the Forums or OHDSI Teams if you’d like to come.
If you’re planning to visit us in Portland, please reach out to me! The OHDSI Center would be happy to host and show you around the beautiful Old Port of Portland.
DISCLAIMER: This is event is not an official OHDSI community event. Speakers may talk about things other than OHDSI and the OMOP CDM. We make no representation or claim that speakers drink the OHDSI Kool-Aid and think the OHDSI way is the best thing since slice bread. Statements could be made about cherry picking variables… and we’re sorry in advance if anyone insinuates p-hacking is acceptable. 
We do hope you’ll come hang out with us. We miss seeing people Face-to-Face.
