Our fully accredited fellowship in Sleep Medicine accepts two fellows per year. The goal of the program is to produce well-rounded, caring physicians who are able to diagnose and treat a variety of sleep disorders.
Our in-depth mentorship and training allows our fellows to graduate with a solid understanding of the intricacies of sleep and sleep disorders. Fellows are supported by a wide range of faculty specializing in sleep disorders in both adults and children, adult/child neurology, internal medicine, adult/child otolaryngology, adult/child pulmonary medicine, cardiology, rheumatology, cleft lip/cleft palate clinic, gastroenterology and psychiatry. Our Sleep Medicine Certified faculty have more than 50 years of combined experience in the discipline.
The primary teaching institute for this fellowship is University Hospital. The hospital houses the Sleep Disorders Center, a six-bed unit fully equipped to perform both night and daytime studies. We perform approximately 1,500 sleep studies per year at this location. The Center is involved in sleep mechanism research.
Fellows will also train nearby at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital. At HSTMVH, veterans with sleep disorders resulting from post-traumatic stress disorder provide a diverse education for our fellows. Approximately 1,000 sleep studies are performed annually at this location.
Qualified applicants must have completed an accredited residency in internal medicine, pulmonary/critical care, neurology, psychiatry or family medicine.
