The Sleep Medicine Fellowship program provides fellows with ample experience in an ambulatory setting with neurology, pulmonary and pediatric pulmonary attendings on a regular basis. Fellows also have their own continuity sleep clinics.
Fellows are required to gain experience in the scoring and interpretation of sleep studies and to prove their proficiency. They can also work with otolaryngologists (both adult and pediatric), neuropsychologists and orthodontists in the management of sleep disorders.
The program also offers intensive laboratory exposure, and fellows can interpret about 2,000 studies
