Atrium Health & Wake Forest Baptist Clinical Sleep Symposium 2025
The Annual Sleep Symposium is a premier educational event tailored to clinicians with an interest in Sleep Medicine. Each year, the symposium serves as a platform for both seasoned professionals and those new to the field to deepen their understanding of the latest advancements in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge diagnostic tools and innovative treatment options for a wide range of sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome. The program is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive view of the evolving landscape in Sleep Medicine, equipping them with the knowledge to enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes.
In addition to enriching their own expertise, participants will have the chance to engage in multidisciplinary discussions and share best practices with their teams, fostering a collaborative learning environment. This symposium is ideal for clinicians looking to stay informed about the latest research, clinical protocols, and technological advancements in Sleep Medicine.
