Social media in neurosurgery recruitment during COVID-19 and beyond

Abstract

TO THE EDITOR: The article by Lazaro and colleagues highlights the centralized role of virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic (Lazaro T, Srinivasan VM, Rahman M, et al. Virtual education in neurosurgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Neurosurg Focus. 2020;49[6]:E17). We aimed to supplement these efforts by pointing to the importance of social media during this crisis and implications for boosting long-term recruitment into neurosurgery.
