• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Patients with sleep disorders often go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed; healthcare professionals may not understand the relatively complex diagnosis of these disorders. With moderately few existing therapeutic options, healthcare professionals should be aware of newer treatments that are available for obstructive sleep apnea, idiopathic hypersomnia, and narcolepsy. As sleep disorders are associated with comorbidities such as hypertension and psychiatric disorders, as well as a higher risk for car crashes, the stakes are higher than ever to identify these conditions, and clinicians may not understand the importance of screening patients and getting them treatment to prevent further issues. This program seeks to shed light on these often-missed conditions and give healthcare professionals the tools to treat and diagnose many sleep disorders.
