Background | Several neuro-interested or neuro-involved trainees halt their community engagement/service efforts to address brain health inequities and disparities as they advance in their careers (to become residents/fellows/attendings) because of how busy they subsequently become, thereby causing a leaky pipeline of capable individuals who could contribute to enhancing brain health equity. Providing a mentored didactic and hands-on opportunity, conducted mostly online alongside the primary jobs or educational programs of interested trainees, could maintain/enhance previous community engagement/service efforts, inspire/foster new community engagement/service efforts, and grow an informed brain health equity community engagement workforce.
