OBJECTIVES |
The School of Sleep Medicine, Inc.™ strives to provide high quality sleep medicine education for the medical community. This package was developed to assist individuals preparing for board exams and for those who may not be able to attend our live course. It is also used as a complement to our live courses. At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to assess their knowledge base in sleep medicine and identify areas of strengths and weakness as a candidate for specializing in sleep medicine. Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to discuss or identify:
- basic mechanisms of sleep, including the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology
- basic mechanisms of circadian rhythms and the clinical issues surrounding circadian rhythm disorders
- symptomatology and differential diagnoses of sleep disorders
- the sleep evaluation process and interpretation of data
- sleep vs. wake EEG data and recognition of sleep stages and arousals
- abnormal polysomnographic findings and artifact identification
|
