Following is a transcript of his remarks:

Hello everyone. My name is Demondes Haynes. I'm a pulmonary and critical care physician at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. I also serve as the associate dean for admissions of the School of Medicine at the University Medical Center in Jackson. I am a fellow at CHEST and I'm very honored to be the keynote speaker for this year's annual CHEST meeting.

I plan to talk about motivation and perseverance. We've all been really overwhelmed during this pandemic. So I really want to talk a little bit about the things that motivated us to pursue medicine in the first place. Those things that can help us persevere during this pandemic, and then looking beyond the pandemic, what things are we looking forward to, when we hopefully get through this pandemic and how we can make the practice of medicine even better.

And so these topics are important to me for many reasons. I continually work in the ICU. I have to remind myself of ways to be encouraged. And then the other things that we'll talk about as being empathetic with patients. One of the big things that I try to teach is patient communication skills and empathy with our trainees and the patients and knowing that many of our patient populations may come from underserved areas. They may be dealing with healthcare disparities.

So talking about how it can contribute to a more diverse workforce will also play into that and help us be able to improve patient care and outcomes.
