WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join our Oct. 24 Community Call, which is our annual post-symposium ‘Welcome to OHDSI’ session. While this session can be informative for anybody in the community, we especially welcome those who joined their first OHDSI Symposium and want to learn more about how to get involved in our global mission of improving health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care.
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
