We trace the evolution of digital health industry careers for behavioral medicine specialists. We discuss the current misalignment of career opportunities in the private sector with the predominant graduate education training model that emphasizes the pursuit of academic positions. We describe the potential risks to the profession and public health if the field does not adapt professional training models to be inclusive of private sector industry roles. Finally, we offer a series of recommendations aimed at trainees, faculty advisors, and training programs to better prepare trainees for meaningful careers in industry.
我们追溯了行为医学专家在数字健康行业职业发展的历程。我们讨论了当前私营部门职业机会与研究生教育培养模式之间的错位，后者强调追求学术职位。如果该领域不调整专业培训模式，将私营部门的角色包括在内，我们将描述该领域对专业和公共卫生的潜在风险。最后，我们为学员、导师和培训计划提出了一系列建议，旨在为学员在行业中从事有意义的职业做好更好的准备。
