Digital health specialists are by definition a pluralistic heterogeneous professional group; their career pathways are neither straight nor smooth. This chapter contains seven narratives of professionals, their journeys into becoming digital health specialists, their aspirations, and their career prospects. These narratives speak of identity, impact, and innovation and illustrate how diverse career pathways out of clinical and technological careers have converged to define roles in digital health. These narratives have important implications for how this specialised workforce needs to be trained, identified, and retained, to meet the growing needs of digital health in patient care, health system planning, and policy making. |
