Choose one site that suits you and send a short enquiry yourself, using the contact details listed for that site. Contact details are not necessarily the same for every location, so use the ones shown for the site you choose. On 20 September 2026 the registry showed four recruiting United States locations: Advent Health (Celebration, Florida), University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida), Wayne State University (Detroit, Michigan) and Michigan Ear Institute (Farmington Hills, Michigan).
