The Division of Sleep Medicine has teamed with WGBH Educational Foundation and other sponsors to create the Sleep and Health Education Program – a world-class, web-based education program on sleep science, sleep health and sleep disorders. This program has four goals:
- Help individuals and their sleep partners recognize sleep problems and cross the threshold to medical diagnosis and treatment.
- Provide primary care physicians and other clinicians with the information they need to recognize and respond effectively to patients’ sleep-related problems.
- Provide medical students and other health care trainees the educational foundation to understand the importance of good sleep health in themselves and in their future patients.
- Respond to the media’s need for information that is credible, accurate and easily accessible.
