WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, Jan. 17 (11 am ET) for our next OHDSI Community Call, when we’ll introduce an opportunity to either re-connect or meet and mingle with many new community members via our own version of ‘speed dating.’ This was a popular session when we introduced it last summer, so we’re excited to start 2023 with this early chance to spend time with potential collaborators.
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.
