A Message From the Program Director

Welcome to the Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program.  

Our program provides training in adult and pediatric sleep medicine — a focus that distinguishes it from many other sleep medicine programs. Fellows will work in cutting-edge facilities and gain exposure to a variety of sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea and narcolepsy.  

The fellowship emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, leveraging the expertise of physicians, nurses, psychologists, sleep technicians, dentists and researchers. The collaborative environment, diverse patient population and research opportunities provide fellows with a holistic understanding of the field.  

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
