Hi, I am Tammi Lasky, a pharmacoepidemiologist working as a consultant in Baltimore, MD. I’ve heard Patrick speak about OHDSI and I attended the Symposium this past October. I am excited by the whole concept of OHDSI and using Real-World Evidence to improve the ways medications are used in children. The potential to improve the health of children is especially great because it is often more difficult to do a clinical trial in children, and because we usually have small numbers of children with a given condition or disease, so collaboration is essential.
My “children” are grown and would take issue with being called children, and neither one followed me into science. My interests are on the quiet, contemplative side - hiking, sketching, knitting, and the like. Am trying to come out of my shell, a little!
