    Might be worth starting a conversation, not sure if they have anything that would fit.

    Yeah that's a significant reason why I left my last job to come here ;)

    I'm hesitant to share my employment information publicly, although I'm not entirely sure why since anyone that knows how to navigate google could probably find it anyways.

    It's at the American Academy of Neurology. HERE is a link to the description and application on the website.
