Abstract: Objective To systematically analyze the teaching dynamics, research hotspots, and development trends in the field of standardized residency training in emergency departments in China using bibliometric and visualization techniques, so as to inform and guide future research in this field. Methods Literature on emergency residency training published from 2004 to 2024 was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases. Data analysis was conducted using bibliometric and visualization tools such as NoteExpress, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Results A total of 387 valid articles were included, with an overall fluctuating upward trend in annual publications. The top authors in terms of publication volume included Wang Changyuan, Liu Jihai, Wang Yu, Guo Feng, and Yu Xuezhong, forming collaborative clusters centered around Wang Changyuan, Liu Jihai, Wang Yu, Li Qiang, and Tang Ziren, respectively. The top 5 institutions in terms of publication volume were Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University, and Peking University Third Hospital. The top 5 journals in terms of publication volume were China Continuing Medical Education, Chinese Journal of Graduate Medical Education, China Higher Medical Education, China Health Industry, and Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine. The keywords with high frequency included job competency (20 times), clinical thinking (11 times), doctor-patient communication (11 times), clinical teaching (10 times), medical education (9 times), and mini-clinical evaluation exercise (9 times). The keywords with high emergence intensity after 2021 were represented by clinical teaching (2.03), medical education (1.76), competency (1.16), in-situ simulation (1.11), and teaching reform (0.78). Conclusions Research in the field of emergency residency training in China has centered on core topics such as job competency, clinical thinking, doctor-patient communication, Mini-CEX, and scenario simulation teaching. Future developments will focus more on aspects such as the deep integration of intelligent technology, innovative integration of teaching models, regional cooperation and the balanced allocation of educational resources, as well as humanistic education and long-term career development.
