The authors developed a virtual educational event for undergraduate students entitled "Future Leaders in Neurosurgery Symposium for Underrepresented Students'' (FLNSUS). The primary objectives of the FLNSUS were to expose attendees to 1) neurosurgeons from diverse gender, racial, and ethnic backgrounds; 2) neurosurgical research; 3) opportunities for neurosurgical mentorship; and 4) information about life as a neurosurgeon.

In this article, we examine the history of the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in neurosurgery and describe the creation and implementation of a neurosurgery summer scholarship program for Black medical and graduate students, which originated at the University of Miami.

On the basis of the Access Evaluation Framework and Healthcare Barrier Model, this study implemented 2 consumer decision tools and a qualitative interview to elucidate significant barriers to seeking surgical care in Uganda.

The goal of our study is to describe the face, head, and neck (FHN) conditions that need surgical care in Uganda, along with barriers to that care and disability from these conditions.
