Committee Overview
Many of the challenges
facing neurosurgery revolve around work force issues so this committee has been
extremely active for the last few years. In answer to some of the most pressing
concerns of neurosurgeons throughout the United States, in both private practice
and academics, the committee has taken on several demanding and controversial
projects.
- Neurosurgery
Census: It has become clear that the global neurosurgery work force is
changing rapidly and that no one organization maintains an accurate assessment
of practicing neurosurgeons. This data is essential for many endeavors including
the critical issue of medical liability reform. The committee is spearheading
the effort to complete a nationwide census of neurosurgeons to define the
actual number of neurosurgeons in active practice along with the scope of
their practice.
- Survey of APNs and PAs in Neurosurgery: A survey is being developed to define the current state of practice nationally. This work will complement the work done on the scope of practice (see above) and should be useful for work being done to establish a curriculum for neurosurgical physician extenders.
