The acute phase of COVID-19 was a time of cultural magnification and transformation in emergency medicine. It was a time when we could see who we are, recognized what aligned with those values and identified what conflicted with them. #ACEMWS21 @Qemerg 
A group of clinicians @Qemerg @KingstonHSC engaged in a rapid cycle collaborative ethnography by gathering >50,000 words in field notes and >40 interviews with staff during 12 week period (March-May 2020). Weekly we reported the "pulse" of the ED to department + hospital leaders.
This work highlighted aspects of pandemic reality that aligned with our core values, beliefs, and practices. For example, managing uncertainty is core to emergency medicine. Many thrived in doing so in the early days.
