During this event, the leadership of the WFNS and stakeholders of global neurosurgery identified challenges and proposed solutions to the issues faced by trainees during the pandemic. Although the current COVID-19 pandemic has had a sudden and negative effect on the ability to train neurosurgeons, especially in LMICs, the increased use of social media and virtual platforms (in our case, Zoom) is markedly improving the interactions between the leadership of the WFNS and neurosurgeons around the globe. ./cache/cord-312345-gn6mwun0.txt ./txt/cord-312345-gn6mwun0.txt
