Sleep Medicine fellowship for ABEM certified: Any interest
Hello this is my first post here in a good while. I am part of a small group of EM trained physicians working to add Sleep Medicine to the list of ABEM approved fellowships. Sleep Medicine is currently open to physicians trained in Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, ENT, Psychiatry, and Neurology. Emergency Medicine trained physicians are not eligible to apply. American Board of Sleep Medicine is open to allowing EP's to apply but it would require ABEM to approve.
If you are ABEM certified or board eligible, or a resident training in an approved residency program, or medical student interested in or applying to EM, please comment if you would agree Sleep Medicine should be available to EP's. We are working on a survey to distribute which should happen sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.
Thank you.
*****EDIT: Thank you for all who have responded thus far! If you would like to be contacted to aid in our efforts (specifically if you would like to potentially pursue this fellowship) please DM me your email, if you are comfortable doing so. Once we move forward with the formal survey which will be presented to ABEM, I will post that here.
