Behavioral medicine training is due for an overhaul given the rapid evolution of the field, including a tight funding climate, changing job prospects, and new research and industry collaborations. The purpose of the present study was to collect responses from trainee and practicing members of a multidisciplinary professional society about their perceptions of behavioral medicine training and their suggestions for changes to training for future behavioral medicine scientists and practitioners. A total of 162 faculty and 110 students (total n = 272) completed a web-based survey on strengths of their current training programs and ideas for changes. Using a mixed-methods approach, the survey findings are used to highlight seven key areas for improved preparation of the next generation of behavioral medicine scientists and practitioners, which are grant writing, interdisciplinary teamwork, advanced statistics and methods, evolving research program, publishable products from coursework, evolution and use of theory, and non-traditional career paths.
鉴于行为医学领域的迅速发展，包括资金紧张的环境、不断变化的就业前景以及新的研究和行业合作，行为医学培训亟待全面改革。本研究的目的是收集一个多学科专业协会的学员和执业成员对行为医学培训的看法，以及他们对未来行为医学科学家和从业者培训变革的建议。共有162名教员和110名学生（共272人）完成了一项关于当前培训项目优势和变革想法的网络调查。采用混合方法，调查结果用于突出七个关键领域，以改进对下一代行为医学科学家和从业者的培养，这七个领域分别是资助申请撰写、跨学科团队合作、高级统计与方法、不断发展的研究项目、课程作业的可发表成果、理论的演变与应用以及非传统职业道路。
