While many of us spent the summer months traveling and exploring international destinations, I've been thinking about the many places across our globe that are still in desperate need of skilled neurosurgeons. We've created the Stanford Neurosurgery Global Health Initiative, in an effort to allow our faculty, residents, nurses, and medical students, to travel and work year-round in places where people like us don't yet exist.
