Sleep medicine exposure offered by United States residency training programs.
Sleep medicine exposure offered by United States residency training programs. Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Sullivan, S. S., Cao, M. T. 2020Abstract
To understand the sleep medicine (SM) educational exposure among parent specialties of sleep medicine fellowships, we conducted an online survey among ACGME-approved training programs.Target respondents were program directors of family medicine, otolaryngology, psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics, and pulmonary and critical care (PCCM) training programs in the United States. The survey was based on the Sleep Education Survey (SES), a peer-reviewed, published survey created by the American Academy of Neurology Sleep Section. The modified 18-question survey was emailed via Survey Monkey per published methods totaling 3 requests approximately one week apart in January 2017.A total of 1,228 programs were contacted, and 479 responses were received for an overall response rate of 39%. Some programs in every specialty group offered a SM elective or a required rotation to trainees. PCCM and neurology reported the highest percentages of SM rotation as an option for housestaff (85.7% and 90.8%, respectively), and PCCM had the highest portion of programs indicating a rotation requirement (75.4%). Teaching format was a mixture of didactic lectures, sleep center/lab exposure, and case reports; with lectures being the most common format. Didactics averaged 4.75 hours per year. Few programs reported trainees subsequently pursuing SM fellowship (< 10% produced a fellow over five years), and even fewer reported having a trainee who pursued grant funding for sleep-related research over five years.There is wide variability and overall low exposure to sleep medicine education among United States "parent" ACGME training programs whose medical boards offer sleep medicine certification.
