Overview
Due to the growing concern over the spread of the coronavirus, we are postponing the symposium, originally scheduled for April 30-May 1, 2020, to the new dates: Thursday-Friday, September 10-11, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Registration for the September program will be available later this month.

"Each man’s death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know, for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.”
--John Donne

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to Global Neurosurgery: Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls. This is a neurosurgical colloquium intended to educate, innovate, and foster a deeper understanding in Global Neurosurgery. The Department of Neurosurgery at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and New Jersey Medical School, as well as RWJBarnabas Health, will be sponsoring this event.

The landmark 2015 Lancet Commission on Global Surgery stressed the dire need for surgery in a global context while presenting the vast inequities of access to safe, affordable and quality surgery. In the April 2019 issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery, Dr. James T. Rutka emphasized that the estimated gross domestic product loss from patients suffering from neurosurgical diseases will exceed $4.4 trillion over the next 15 years. There are approximately 50,000 neurosurgeons worldwide, but an additional 23,000 neurosurgeons needed to meet current patient loads, specifically in Africa and Southeast Asia.

This symposium will coincide with the Administrative Council meeting of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies. A galaxy of international superstars will be joining us to address the various aspects of neurosurgery. A global call for abstracts has gone out, along with a section for residents and medical students as well. I want to invite you and encourage your residents, medical students, and faculty to attend. We look forward to your enthusiastic response and to hosting you in the Garden State in scenic Jersey City. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely



Anil Nanda, MD, MPH, FACS
Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurosurgery
Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
Peter W. Carmel, MD Endowed Chair of Neurological Surgery
Senior Vice President of Neurosurgical Services

Symposium Goals and Objectives
• To create a platform for societies from the developing countries to discuss the current development of Neurosurgery in their respective countries, especially related to the education of young neurosurgeons.
• To create an opportunity for all representatives of members’ countries to present regarding neurosurgical services in their respective countries.
• To understand the facilities and level of development in Neurosurgery of each members’ countries.
• To create a database on the regional neurosurgical services used to formulate long term strategies to improvise the neurosurgical development in human resources, facilities, and adaptation of current modern technologies.
• To understand the regional health policies and its implications on the delivery of care in neurosurgery.
• To understand the challenges posed due to cultural differences in implementing a uniform standard of care globally.

Target Audience
This activity is designed for physicians, surgeons, advanced practice nurses, nurses, physician assistants, residents and fellows working in the fields of internal medicine, hospital medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, physical and rehabilitation medicine, and trauma whose practice focuses on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with neurosurgical conditions.

Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  1. Recognize the worldwide disparities in the neurosurgical care and its consequences.
  2. Identify existing international outreach programs.
  3. Use big data to promote global neurosurgery.
  4. Describe the role neurosurgeons in advocating for health policy creation and reform, and prevention of neurosurgical disease states in their respective regions.
  5. Describe developing areas of research concerning neurosurgical global health issues.
