Dear Colleague,
So many of our patients have comorbid sleep disorders that are often severe, treatment-resistant or complex. The frequency and complexity of such conundrums was our impetus for developing this in-depth Intensive. If you too find that sleep disorders and their management is an area of concern in your care of patients, then I highly recommend you participate in this focused home study.

We’ve identified two of the most well-known and respected sleep specialists to give you a firm grounding in this discipline. And since the focus of the course is on practical knowledge, you can be sure that these specialists will also provide clear, practical guidance to help you in the care of your patients.
When you look at the Sleep Disorders Intensive agenda, you’ll see how many clinical conundrums it will clear up for you. You will remove a major source of clinical stress from your day-to-day practice.
