Case-based learning is applied in the context of patient presentation and initial interview and diagnostic findings, determination of appropriate sleep medicine studies, interpretation of patient findings, recommendation for patient therapy, and follow-up of patient compliance and outcome(s) of therapeutic intervention. Prerequisites: REST 3502 and REST 3505. REST 3510. Clinical Practice I in Polysomnography (2) Introduction to the sleep laboratory and the set-up, monitoring, and therapeutic interventions associated with polysomnography. Students will be oriented to patient interviewing and selection, OSHA standards, sleep laboratory standards, and confidentiality. Competency is demonstrated in patient set-up, producing a reliable PSG, recognizing artifact, and basic therapeutic interventions for common sleep disorders. Concurrent enrollment in REST 3503 and REST 3504. Prerequisite: REST 3502. REST 3511. Clinical Practice II in Polysomnography (2) Case-based clinical applications course. Course requires competency in complete patient management (patient referral and interview, physician consult, patient study[ies], therapeutic intervention and follow-up of patient compliance). Students will develop the patient history and physical, perform the study, score the patient record, interpret the report, apply therapy, and follow-up patient compliance. Concurrent enrollment in REST 3505. Prerequisites: REST 3502 and REST 3510. REST 3512.
