In this special one hour webinar, join a panel of experts in the fields of Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation who will discuss the diagnosis, triage, and treatment of spinal column and cord injuries at their institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss and compare testing protocols pre and post-surgery, other precautions, and changes in rehabilitation and surgical practice that different institutions across the country are adopting.

1. Identify changes in pre- and post-surgery protocols due to COVID-19, such as testing and anti-coagulation plans.
2. Compare the experiences and practices of spinal surgery and rehabilitation teams from hospitals across the country operating in this quickly evolving pandemic.
3. Discuss the challenges in re-opening of elective or non-essential surgeries across several institutions.
4. Identify what changes will have a long-term impact on spinal surgery and rehabilitation, such as telehealth, screening, testing, and discharge practices.
