Neurosurgical education and training are the essential tenets for the development of a sustainable workforce. However, opportunities for training are limited in most parts of the world due to socioeconomic constraints and an inadequate workforce. This global deficit has triggered a huge drive to expand training opportunities. Although training programs are increasing numerically, most of these programs focus on basic residency training with no opportunities for fellowships and continuing education. Herein, we use the Foundation of International Education in Neurological Surgery as a global success model to elucidate on the role of fellowships, distant continuing education, and funding in neurosurgery.
神经外科学教育和培训是可持续劳动力发展的基本原则。然而，由于社会经济限制和劳动力不足，世界上大多数地区的培训机会有限。这种全球短缺促使人们大力扩大培训机会。尽管培训计划在数量上有所增加，但这些计划大多集中在基本住院医师培训上，没有奖学金和继续教育的机会。在此，我们以国际神经外科学教育基金会（Foundation of International Education in Neurological Surgery）为例，阐述了奖学金、远程继续教育和资金在神经外科中的作用。
