Weekly OHDSI Digest- January 17, 2021

WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS

Please join us Tuesday, Jan. 18 (11 am) for our next OHDSI Community Call, when we bring the OHDSI workgroups together in Gathertown for meetings and introductions. If you are part of a workgroup, this is a chance to come together and work on OKRs for 2022. If you are looking to join a workgroup (or multiple), this is an opportunity to learn more about what is happening within our different teams.

Everybody is invited! Calendar invites for our 2022 community calls went out two weeks ago. 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.
