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.

At the end of the event, attendees should be able to:
- Recognize the worldwide disparities in the neurosurgical care and its consequences
- Identify existing international outreach programs
- Use big data to promote global neurosurgery
- Describe the role neurosurgeons in advocating for health policy creation and reform, and prevention of neurosurgical disease states in their respective regions
- Describe developing areas of research concerning neurosurgical global health issues
