Sleep disturbances have been shown to worsen many medical and psychiatric diseases. Despite the demand for better treatments surrounding sleep in the clinical setting, the amount of sleep education during medical school and residency is typically very limited. Furthermore, the sleep field is very dynamic with rapidly changing guidelines and available treatments. This makes the field of sleep an ideal subject for continuing medical education. In this course, Milena Pavlova, MD, will join other eminent sleep specialists for a virtual series of lectures and Q&A sessions.
