WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
The Book of OHDSI, published in 2019, has been one of the most widely accessed educational tools within the community. It was recently announced that Christian Reich and Sarah Seager are leading an initiative to publish a second edition of the Book of OHDSI, featuring updated content and new chapters. Please join our March 11 community call (11 am ET) and take part in a community brainstorm about what should be included in this edition, and how to get it done.
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
