A sleep medicine curriculum for otolaryngology-head and neck surgery

Abstract

As otolaryngologists play increasingly important roles in the evaluation and treatment of sleep disordered breathing, it is important that all practitioners systematically study the field of sleep. The curriculum outlined in this article has been developed for resident training at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. It is divided into goals and objectives, curriculum, differential diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing, international classification of sleep disordered breathing, a glossary of sleep terms, and a list of resources.
