For the abstracts of each annual meeting, I like to pick out words that convey what I see as dominant or emerging themes of the abstracts. This year, as expected, COVID-19 stood strong in my assessment, as did opioids, disparities, the HEART score and machine learning. But my gestalt did not give any clear theme. So, I created a word cloud from all 966 abstracts using a free on-line tool. It was to my chagrin that the dominant word, front and center, was “patients.” I should have known. The people who provide emergency care go into this job and stay in it for the patients.

All the best,

As the editor in chief of Academic Emergency Medicine Education and Training, I am sure the educational abstracts selected this year will resonate with each you. The impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our learners and our educational environment has been resounding. That theme was loud and clear this year with abstracts about health disparities, well-being and burnout, virtual education, virtual oral boards, virtual interviews and telehealth. If COVID was not enough, what about the challenges we are facing as a specialty related to the workforce study and the ability of our residents to find jobs post pandemic? In addition to these provocative topics, you will have a chance to review cutting edge research related to artificial intelligence and clinical decision support for our learners. Last, but surely not least, are the abstracts centered on racism, sexism, and bullying in the workplace. I hope you have the opportunity to talk to your emergency medicine colleagues about their work during our annual meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you at the abstract sessions!

对于每次年会的摘要，我喜欢挑选能够传达我认为摘要的主要或新兴主题的词语。今年，正如预期的那样，COVID-19 在我的评估中表现出色，阿片类药物、差异、HEART 分数和机器学习也是如此。但是我的格式塔没有给出任何明确的主题。因此，我使用免费的在线工具从所有 966 个摘要中创建了一个词云。令我懊恼的是，主要的词，前面和中心，是“病人”。我早该知道。提供紧急护理的人会从事这项工作并为患者留下来。

祝一切顺利，

作为《学术急诊医学教育培训》的主编，相信今年入选的教育摘要一定会引起大家的共鸣。COVID-19 大流行对我们的学习者和我们的教育环境产生了巨大的影响。这个主题今年响亮而清晰，摘要涉及健康差异、幸福感和倦怠、虚拟教育、虚拟口头委员会、虚拟访谈和远程医疗。如果 COVID 还不够，那么我们作为与劳动力研究相关的专业以及我们的居民在大流行后找到工作的能力所面临的挑战呢？除了这些引人入胜的话题之外，您还将有机会回顾与人工智能相关的前沿研究以及为我们的学习者提供的临床决策支持。最后，但肯定不是最不重要的，是以工作场所的种族主义、性别歧视和欺凌为中心的摘要。我希望您有机会在我们的年会上与您的急诊医学同事讨论他们的工作。

期待在抽象会议上见到您！
