WEEKLY MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, July 27 (11 am ET) for our next OHDSI Community Call, which will focus on visualizations around Health Equity. This will be the second visualization challenge we have held during a community call; if you want to see the first one, it is available here. You can still participate in this challenge by posting a visualization to the “OHDSI Viz Challenge July2021 Health Equity” channel on the main OHDSI team.
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.
The next APAC community call will be Thursday, and it will feature a presentation on the EUMAEUS (Evaluating Use of Methods for Adverse Event Under Surveillance) study. This will be from the June 29 OHDSI community call.
