WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, Jan. 10 (11 am ET) for our first community call of the new year, when we will look ahead and discuss what we can accomplish together as a community in 2023. The OHDSI mission is improve health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care, and we share some potential activities and initiatives that could help us work towards that shared mission.
Everybody is invited. There is a new calendar invite for 2023 calls, which went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly meetings will be posted on both our main OHDSI Teams tenant and on our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
