OHDSI MEETINGS THIS WEEK
OHDSI STATEMENT ON COVID-19: OHDSI is committed to doing what it can to support and inform the COVID-19 pandemic response, and will prioritize activities aligned to this effort. As we adjust to the current global situation, the OHDSI community will continue to have our regular Tuesday community calls, as well as our various working group calls. Understandably, some calls could be postponed or cancelled due to issues surrounding COVID-19, so we ask that you continuously check the OHDSI forums, weekly digest and social channels for updated information. OHDSI is a virtual community, so we are equipped to continue collaboration during this challenging time.

Women of OHDSI mentorship sessions - The Women of OHDSI will be holding ad hoc mentorship meetings, hosted by experts within a variety of areas. These meetings will have the aim of providing a forum for attendees to ask questions and seek guidance. Each meeting will be structured around a given topic, either focused on a specific technical area (ex. how to write a patient-level prediction protocol) or on general career development (ex. improving soft skills). The meetings may include a short presentation on the topic, but will primarily be designed for attendees to ask questions. To help us organize the meetings, please fill in this googleform and outline areas where you feel you could use more support: Women of OHDSI Mentorship Sessions
