WEEKLY MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, July 6 (11 am ET) for a “Meet + Greet” OHDSI Community Call, when collaborators can introduce themselves and share about their background, how they hope to contribute to the community, and how OHDSI can support them on their journey.
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.
