What is digital identity?
Digital identity – the identity that represents one’s personal or professional identity on the Internet and social media – is playing an increasingly important role in medical education in particular. In the article given by the professor, the definition of DPI is the professional identity formed through online platforms and communication tools, which not only reflects the performance of the private in the social network, but also involves how to interact with the public. In case articles given to medical students, their social media presence can affect their professional image and future development. So there is a need for guidance and training on digital identities, especially professional digital identities, and understanding how to manage and shape them.
How do you present yourself on social media platforms for personal use? What kind of content do you share, and how do you manage your privacy?
In today’s era of advanced online media, it is very common to show yourself and share your life on social media platforms. I like to share the things around me very much, what I see and hear every day, for example, when I go to the park for a walk, I will take a picture of the park scenery and upload it to share with my friends and family on the Internet, or when I go to the restaurant to eat delicious food, I will also take a picture and upload it to share on the Internet. At the same time, I also attach great importance to the management of privacy. As mentioned in the professor’s article and test, although the Internet is a place that can be shared with others, there are also many risks. Some people may steal their personal information and locate you by the photos you take. I will not disclose these photos to strangers. Moreover, I will choose to edit these photos at home rather than upload them directly at the place where they were taken, which can greatly reduce risk.
Reflect on the challenges and benefits of maintaining a personal and professional digital identity. How do you make sure they complement each other rather than conflict with each other? Provide examples from your own experience.
I think personal and professional digital identity is a process of mutual inclusion, and for some professional image people, how to maintain the sharing of private life while keeping the professional image is a very challenging process. In terms of benefits, sharing your personal image at the same time will make people more complete know what kind of person you are, not only in the workplace, but also in daily life to find your advantages, so that you will have more people choose you at work and know you. Of course, there are many challenges, you need to decide if you post on the Internet, the post will not negatively affect your career, if you post something radical, it is likely to cause your credibility to drop significantly.
From my personal experience, I would create two accounts to solve this problem, professional accounts to post what I think is a positive point of view. On the other hand, my private account will share some of my personal life, which will not cause conflict, and I can post what I want to post on the Internet.
Looking ahead, how do you plan to manage your digital identity as social media continues to evolve? What steps will you take to adapt to new platforms and trends while maintaining a consistent and positive digital presence?

For the future network media, I think it will maintain a continuous upward trend. More and more people will publish their personal and professional images on the network, and digital identity management is very important, especially the professional digital identity will determine the development of your career, so the protection of privacy security will also be particularly important. First of all, for the published content, professional digital identity needs to maintain a positive and optimistic release, for radical or have an impact on their career posts, need to be treated with caution, you can choose not to publish or publish to your own private account, to ensure that your professional digital identity will not be affected. For account security is also particularly important, now there are a lot of network hackers, many illegal websites will steal your personal information, many people may be greedy for small profits, the use of pirate websites, which is likely to reveal their privacy, leading to greater losses.
Anyway, it is important to keep a cautious attitude to the Internet, do not seek small profits, and repeatedly check your words before Posting on professional digital identity accounts to see if the image will not have a negative impact on the future, which is especially important to adapt to the rapid development of online social media.
