Each Wednesday from May 10 through May 31, 2023 features a presentation from 2:30-4:00 p.m., followed by Q&A on your research project with NC TraCS analysts from 4:00-4:30 p.m.

Audience

  • Graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and clinicians who are interested in research using clinical data from UNC's EHR system and the Carolina Data Warehouse
