ANNOUNCEMENTS
State of the Collaborative Address – CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We’re looking for volunteers to help present the 2018 State of the Collaborative address. We want to hear from you guys, what your experience of OHDSI was in 2017. Whether that was publishing papers, taking part in network research studies, developing software or simply joining the journey. We’re inviting volunteers to give short presentations about their OHDSI experience on the January 16th community call. If you’re interested in presenting, please fill in this short survey to let us know about your OHDSI experience and what’d you like to present:
