Groundwork
Medical education scholars are increasingly recognizing the centrality of context to all aspects of teaching and learning. Groundwork articles examine in-depth a particular phenomenon so as to advance description and understanding of practice systems and their evolution. These articles may feature ethnographic studies, inter-disciplinary or conceptual literature reviews, surveys, work analyses, and incident investigations, among other approaches. Note – TLM rarely publishes systematic reviews of educational outcome studies or single-institution survey audits (e.g., knowledge on some topic of trainees at one institution). In addition, literature reviews that result in a very small number of articles are rarely selected for publication.
Groundwork articles should contain a structured abstract using the format presented below. The body of the manuscript need not conform to the structure of the abstract.
Phenomenon (Briefly state the phenomenon that was studied in depth)
Approach (Briefly describe the investigatory approach)
Findings (Briefly state the findings of the investigation)
Insights (Briefly present the new insights about the phenomenon gained by the present investigation, which improve theoretical understanding)
