WEEKLY MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, Sept. 28 (11 am ET), as we introduce the community to the many workgroups available within OHDSI. Following community updates, we will re-open Gathertown so that you can visit each workgroup and learn more about what has been done, and what is currently being worked on. There will be workgroup leaders available to answer your questions, as well as videos and informational slides available to help you learn about what is happening.
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.

Registration is open for a two-day HL7 FHIR/OMOP Workshop this Wednesday-Thursday.

There are several planned talks during the full-day event, including ones focused on the FHIR/OHDSI collaboration, the APAC Chapter vision for 2022, the EHDEN consortium and state of the community talks for both the global community and the APAC community. Registration links and more details will be posted to OHDSI.org soon.
