The COVID-19 pandemic provided the specialty of emergency medicine the opportunity to showcase what many knew all along: emergency physicians (EP) are well suited to deal with the unknown and can quickly adapt even with incomplete or limited information and resources. Emergency physicians in Missouri served in integral positions locally, nationally and internationally. Missouri EPs published numerous manuscripts on topics from basic science to clinical care. Device innovation also occurred with the development of protective devices for health care workers. As we approach the three-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, the burden of clinical care still weighs heavily on EPs. Each wave of the pandemic has brought challenges and spurred EPs to innovate in new ways. As Michigan EP Brian Zink, MD once said "Anyone, Anything, Anytime". These words correctly sum up emergency medicine. When others hesitated to care for COVID-19 patients, EPs stepped up despite uncertainty and risks to their own health. Emergency medicine has led the way and continues to innovate and push the envelope of emergency care.
急诊医师（EP）非常适合应对未知情况，即使在信息和资源不完整或有限的情况下，也能迅速适应。密苏里州的急诊医师在当地、全国和国际上都担任着重要角色。密苏里州的 EP 发表了许多关于从基础科学到临床护理的主题的论文。随着为医护人员开发防护设备，也出现了器械创新。随着新冠疫情大流行进入第三年，临床护理的负担仍然沉重地压在 EP 身上。每一波疫情都带来了挑战，并促使 EP 以新的方式进行创新。正如密歇根州 EP 布莱恩·津克（Brian Zink）医学博士曾经说过的那样，“任何人，任何事，任何时候”。这些话正确地概括了急诊医学。当其他人不愿照顾新冠患者时，EP 不顾自身健康的不确定性和风险挺身而出。急诊医学一直在引领潮流，不断创新，推动急诊护理的发展。
