This year has certainly been a trying experience for most people, especially those working in healthcare at the tip of the spear in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. I am quite certain that the Journal will be featuring informative articles on the topic for years to come, and I trust you will enjoy reading the paper in this issue from Fort, Seoane, Unis, and Price-Haywood that explores “Locally Informed Modeling to Predict Hospital and Intensive Care Unit Capacity During the COVID-19 Epidemic.” Of the other 5 original research papers in this issue, one in particular—“Using Multisource Feedback to Assess Resident Communication Skills: Adding a New Dimension to Milestone Data”—is a great read for all medical educators in the graduate medical education realm of the academic continuum, while the editorial by Ly et al promotes greater exposure among the undergraduate medical education/medical school community to a growing specialty. Additionally, consider the manuscript by Tseng, Parrino, and Denton about the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass video as an effective learning tool for medical students during their surgical rotations.
