Teaching and Learning in Medicine ( TLM) is an international forum for scholarship on teaching and learning in the health professions, with emphasis on medicine. The journal's international scope reflects the common challenge faced by all health professions educators: fostering the development of competent, humane, and continuous learners with the agency not only to practice in complex, high-stakes, and ever-changing clinical environments, but also to transform these environments for the betterment of health care for all.  TLM's contributors comprise educators with a diversity of training backgrounds, from the health professions to the social and behavioral sciences, from the humanities to data science and systems engineering. Our publications signal the value of integrating diverse perspectives into a comprehensive understanding of teaching, learning, development, and growth. TLM seeks to provide the conceptual foundations, practical analysis, and creative inspiration needed for innovative and transformational educational decision making in such areas as admissions, instructional design and delivery, performance assessment, remediation, technology-assisted instruction, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and faculty development, among many others. TLM's scope includes all levels of health professional education, from premedical to postgraduate and continuing professional education. 

Equity Mission

TLM is committed to facilitating equity in health professions education (HPE) publishing. We define equity as continuously striving to identify and address barriers to publication imposed by systemic and structural bias in the attempt to ensure that our publications represent the voices and concerns of all stakeholders. Towards this end, we:

    Welcome manuscripts on health professions education topics that are not considered by current standards to be "hot" or "mainstream".
    Invite contributors from marginalized social groups or geographic regions to submit work that speaks to their own group or local need, rather than feeling obligated to demostrate its relevance to the predominant audience.
    Appreciate and promptly respond to contributors' outreach regarding the fit of their unconventional methods or disruptive ideas to the journal's submission categories. 
    Promote inclusive language and radical honesty in the peer review process by encouraging reflexivity and equitable writing practices among contributors, peer reviewers, and editors. 
    Encourage feedback from contributors about gaps and missteps in the inclusivity of our editorial processes and systems. 

We acknowledge that our editorial systems and procedures are not yet universally accessible to all contributors. For technical difficulties requiring a work-around that cannot be provided by ScholarOne Manuscripts Support, contributors are encouraged to contact TLM's Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Anna T. Cianciolo, at tlm@siumed.edu for prompt and caring solutions.
