Title: SleepMultiMedia v 11.5: The Computerized Textbook of Sleep Medicine.
Original Release Date: January 1st, 2020 Expiration Date: December 31, 2021
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.
Statement of Need: 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.

Physiology: 2 (20 Questions = 1 page), Insomnia: 10, Obstructive Sleep Apnea: 18, Narcolepsy: 10, Parasomnias: 8.
Educational Objectives: By participating in this enduring material you will be able to: 1) Describe the basic physiology of sleep. 2) Understand the clinical features, pathophysiology and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy and parasomnias. 3) Evaluate the therapeutic options for the effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy and parasomnias.
Intermediate Sleep Medicine Course (Total 37 CME credits):
Pediatrics: 12, Restless Legs Syndrome:7, Hypersomnias: 4, Aging and Sleep: 6, Neurology and Sleep: 8.
Educational Objectives: By participating in this enduring material you will be able to: 1) Describe the basic physiology of sleep in children. 2) Understand the clinical features, pathophysiology and diagnosis of pediatric sleep disorders, restless legs syndrome, hypersomnias, and sleep disorders in the aged. 3) Evaluate the therapeutic options for the effective treatment of pediatric sleep disorders, restless legs syndrome, hypersomnias, and sleep disorders in the aged.
Advanced Sleep Medicine Course (Total 55 CME credits):
Neurophysiology: 6, Polysomnography: 4, Chronophysiology: 10, Scoring Manual: 6, Women and Sleep: 5, Epilepsy and Sleep: 4, Sleep Deprivation: 8, Respiratory Physiology: 3, OroFacial Management: 4, Procedure Manual 5.
Educational Objectives: By participating in this enduring material (USB Flash Drive)) you will be able to: 1) Describe the neurophysiology of sleep, respiratory physiology of sleep, chronophysiology, orofacial management, and sleep stage scoring. 2) Understand the clinical features, pathophysiology and diagnosis of epilepsy and sleep, sleep deprivation, and sleep disorders in women. 3) Evaluate the therapeutic options for the effective treatment of epilepsy and sleep, neurological disorders and sleep, sleep deprivation, and sleep disorders in women.
