Abstract
As Training and Education in Professional Psychology (TEPP’s) outgoing editorial team ends their term, the authors reflect on the journal’s contributions to health service psychology (HSP) and suggest potential priorities and opportunities as both the journal and the science of education and training continue to mature. TEPP’s aim is to serve as a forum for thoughtful and rigorous conceptual and empirical investigation of current issues in HSP education and training, and for candid self-reflection about strengths, shortcomings, and growth opportunities in HSP education. The authors review the journal’s contributions to this aim through three primary goals established at the beginning of their editorial term: (a) engage the broad training community in sharing its best conceptual and empirical work relevant to education and training across training levels, settings, and focus areas; (b) advance the science of education and training through strong empirical research; and (c) expand emphasis on the sociocultural context in which education and training occurs (Bell et al., 2019). The authors conclude with recommendations to the incoming TEPP editorial team and prospective authors for next steps in advancing HSP education and training.
