Outreach & Opportunities
Below are a few opportunities from of our outreach that the Student Neuroscience Association partakes in. We are always looking to get the Neuroscience community more involved in any way possible, so let us know via GroupMe if you have any other ideas for outreach!
Additionally, The Neuroscience Student Advisory Council (NSAC) created and regularly updates a Living Opportunity Document. This document will contain any relevant research or internship opportunities!

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, Shepherd Center is a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spine and chronic pain, and other neuromuscular conditions.

We encourage our members to share the career fields that they are most interested in learning more about with us to ensure that we represent all disciplines! Feel free to email with suggestions and other feedback at:
