Beyond electives: Rethinking training in global neurology.

ABSTRACT

Global health electives in neurology residencies provide opportunities for high-income country trainees, but have limited benefits-and may create burdens-for lower-income country hosts. Current suspension of global health electives for U.S. neurology residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to reflect on ways to reimagine global health education during this period and beyond. The framework proposed in this article underscores the need for equitable, bidirectional international partnerships and highlights global health educational innovations developed during the pandemic.
