Add quiz link?

I’ve only listened to the first episode, so far, and found it relatively enjoyable and informative. Finding the quiz required in order to earn continuing ed credit was not so enjoyable. If you could add a link to the webpage containing the quiz to your show notes, it would be a great timesaver. Thanks for your efforts in putting this podcast together, it was a welcome change from the usual online article or prerecorded PowerPoint style presentation.
