Thoracic and Sleep Medicine

Sleep Medicine

Levels of Training

In addition to the three months of sleep medicine that is strongly recommended for all paediatric thoracic medicine trainees, there are two levels of training in sleep medicine that lead to qualifications to paediatric sleep medicine:

1. Level I: Twelve months core training, as a thoracic medicine trainee, will enable you to have a proportion of clinical practice in sleep medicine and report sleep studies (this may include three months training achieved during the course of a general thoracic core year). This level is required to apply for credentialling for reporting sleep studies (as required by the Health Insurance Commission).
   
2. Level II: Three years training (two core years plus an approved complementary year) will enable you to have clinical practice predominantly or solely in sleep medicine, and to direct a clinical sleep laboratory.
