Abstract
Impact of COVID-19 on the practice of neurosurgery. Clinical care, neurosurgical procedures, resident/fellow education, neurosurgical research, neurosurgical organizations, national and international travel, and the world economy have all been dramatically altered by the pandemic. New systems are being designed and implemented to offset many of the downstream, deleterious effects of COVID-19. Figure is available in color online only.
