Global Responsibility in Neurosurgery

Monday, May 6, 2024
7:00 AM – 12:00 PM CT
Location: S501ab

This course will engage participants in a deep dive into substantial topics that will impact the future of global neurosurgery. The course will begin by identifying and discussing existing gaps in each of the neurosurgical subspecialties (cerebrovascular, tumor/skull base, spine, functional/epilepsy, trauma and pediatrics) on a global scale. Participants will then stratify these gaps by geographical areas to develop individual strategies for moving forward.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify current gaps in the treatment of neurosurgical conditions in each of the main neurosurgery subspecialties.
  • Discuss differences relative to geographical areas among current gaps in treatment.
  • Propose strategies to fill in existing treatment gaps.
