SLEEP MEDICINE

Levels of Training

In addition to the compulsory three months of sleep medicine that must be undertaken by all thoracic medicine trainees (detailed in the section on thoracic medicine) there are two levels of training in sleep medicine that lead to qualification to practise sleep medicine:

Level I: Twelve months core training for thoracic medicine trainees, to enable them to have a proportion of clinical practice in sleep medicine and to report sleep studies (this may include three months training achieved during the course of a general thoracic core year).

Level II: Three years training (two core years plus an approved complementary year) for advanced trainees to enable them to have clinical practice predominantly or solely in sleep medicine, and to direct a clinical sleep laboratory.
