WEEKLY MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, Oct. 12 (11 am ET) for our next OHDSI Community Call, when you will get a chance to hear from, and learn about, our 2021 Titan Award recipients. How did they enhance OHDSI’s mission over the last year? What should the community know about their work?
Besides recognizing the superb accomplishments of these eight community leaders, we hope this meeting can show the type of global impact one person can make, and inspire others as we move towards 2022!
Our 2021 Titan Award honorees were:
Maxim Moinat (Data Standards)
Yong Chen (Methodological Research)
Adam Black (Open-Source Development)
Asieh Golozar (Clinical Applications)
Erica Voss (Community Collaboration)
Mui Van Zandt (Community Leadership)
Faaizah Arshad (Community Support)
Ross Williams (Community Support)
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.
