TriNetX Basic Training
This training will provide an in-depth look at TriNetX and show you how to use the tool. We will go through building a study, searching for a specific population, and finally what information you can gather from the specific cohort. We will also discuss next steps on getting data extracted for research.
After this training you will have a thorough understanding of how to use TriNetX and what the process is to get data extracted for research studies.
