The degree of interest among neurosurgeons regarding international work, and the barriers to involvement in global neurosurgical outreach, are largely unexplored. The authors distributed a survey to members of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons\/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (AANS\/CNS) Joint Section on Pediatric Neurosurgery to assess the state of global outreach among its members and to identify barriers to involvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>An internet-based questionnaire was developed by the International Education Subcommittee of the AANS\/CNS Joint Section on Pediatric Neurosurgery and distributed to pediatric neurosurgeons via the AANS\/CNS Joint Section email contact list. Participants were surveyed on their involvement in global neurosurgical outreach, geographic location, nature of the participation, and barriers to further involvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 35.3% response rate was obtained, with 116 respondents completing the survey. Sixty-one percent have performed or taught neurosurgery in a developing country, and 49% travel at least annually. Africa was the most common region (54%), followed by South America (30%), through 29 separate organizing entities. Hydrocephalus was the most commonly treated condition (88%), followed by spinal dysraphism (74%), and tumor (68%). Most respondents obtained follow-up through communications from local surgeons (77%). Seventy-one percent believed the international experience improved their practice, and 74% were very or extremely interested in working elsewhere. Interference with current practice (61%), cost (44%), and difficulty identifying international partners (43%) were the most commonly cited barriers to participation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Any coordinated effort to expand global neurosurgical capacity begins with appreciation for the current state of outreach efforts. Increasing participation in global outreach will require addressing both real and perceived barriers to involvement. Creation and curation of a centralized online database of ongoing projects to facilitate coordination and involvement may be beneficial.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.3.peds16433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,19]],"date-time":"2017-05-19T13:57:21Z","timestamp":1495202241000},"page":"204-210","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["State of global pediatric neurosurgery outreach: survey by the International Education Subcommittee"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Matthew C.","family":"Davis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandon G.","family":"Rocque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ash","family":"Singhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, BC Children\u2019s Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Ridder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jogi V.","family":"Pattisapu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Central Florida College of Medicine, Orlando, Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James M.","family":"Johnston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"b1","series-title":"Lancet Glob Health","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S21","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(15)70088-4","article-title":"Global economic consequences of selected surgical diseases: a modelling study","volume":"3","author":"Alkire BC","year":"2015","unstructured":"Alkire BC, Shrime MG, Dare AJ, Vincent JR, Meara JG: Global economic consequences of selected surgical diseases: a modelling study.
