Statement of Needs: Sleep disorders
affect up to 33% of the population, yet only 6% of people with insomnia see a
physician for treatment. Sleep disorders are recognized to be associated with
impaired daytime functioning, including daytime sleepiness that predisposes the
individual to home, industrial or motor vehicle accidents, an increased risk of
psychiatric disorders and, in case of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome,
cardiovascular disorders. Most sleep disorders are currently unrecognized,
underdiagnosed and undertreated. Health care workers are in need of
understanding the physiology of sleep and the clinical features,
pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Faculty Disclosures: See reverse side of
this page.
Audience: This course is designed for physicians
and other health care professionals interested in learning about the
physiology, pathophysiology and treatment of sleep and sleep disorders.
