Date of 2018 OHDSI Symposium changed to October 12th
We recently discovered that the initial dates of the 2018 OHDSI Symposium (September 17-19th) fall over Yom Kippur.

The main symposium will take place on Friday, October 12th 2018 and we’ll […]

Preparing for each tutorial has proven to be a fun and enlightening journey. We use to carry around flash drives that stored a 45 GB little box, ‘OHDSI-in-a-box’. Before the training, we would send […]
