Course Description
 

This symposium is aimed at advancing the interdisciplinary understanding of sleep-related medical disorders. Information on advanced laboratory techniques will be provided to the sleep technologists and updated diagnostic tools will be presented to practitioners. The latest information in pediatric, adolescent and adult sleep disorders will be discussed.

 

 

Target Audience
 

Separate tracks are provided for the Sleep Clinician, Sleep Technologists and Therapists, Primary Care Providers, and Educators including School Psychologists, Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants. The primary focus of the speakers within each track will be to address the individual needs of the attendees so they can integrate new concepts into their practices. Individuals will be able to attend sessions from any of the four tracks (as space allows).
