This is an opportunity to learn about all the current work happening around our community and to see how you can collaborate with our workgroups to achieve these goals.

Everybody is invited. Calendar invites for our 2022 community calls go out each Friday. 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.
