Each year the VA Palo Alto Big Data-Scientist Training Enhancement Program (BD-STEP) hosts a "VA Data Bootcamp" conference to orient trainees to the VA's electronic health record databases and network of clinicians, researchers, and operational managers. Below is the schedule for the 2023 bootcamp. All sessions will be held virtually via Zoom; all times listed are Pacific. Attendance at the 2023 VA Data Bootcamp is limited to those at VA Palo Alto, Stanford University, and HSR&D CDA applicants.
Slides and recordings are available on the VA intranet only at http://vaww.herc.research.va.gov/include/page.asp?id=va-data-bootcamp-2023. We ask that you do not share these recordings or slides with others. Thank you.
