Conference Calls

The goal of these calls is to provide ample time to present currently implemented curricula, innovative pedagogical approaches, and resources available to biomedical data science educators. Through the presentations, members of the working group will become familiar with the current landscape of biomedical data sciences curricula and challenges. Additionally, they will be used to assemble a list of topics for discussion during the workshops based on the issues presented and questions raised after the presentations.
