Fellowship in Sleep Medicine
Develop advanced expertise in sleep physiology, sleep study interpretation, and evidence-based management of common and complex sleep disorders.
Course Overview
Sleep Medicine is a multidisciplinary specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sleep disorders. Sleep disturbances such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and circadian rhythm disorders significantly affect physical and mental health. Advances in sleep studies, including polysomnography and home sleep testing, have improved the ability to diagnose and manage these conditions effectively. This fellowship program is designed to provide comprehensive training in sleep physiology, diagnostic sleep studies, and evidence-based management of sleep disorders in clinical practice.
