Explore language to unpack the complexity Sleep Apnea’s severity metrics: AHI, RDI, REI, the many definitions of hypopnea, obstructive vs central sleep apnea.

Recognize the nuanced language that goes into the discussion of individual risk associated with Sleep Apnea and know how to collaboratively apply this language with your patients.

Comprehend the complexity of the underlying pathophysiology of Sleep Apnea, by breaking apart the “many moving parts” of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea and seeing how they relate to one another.

Implement a patient-centered approach to understand and clarify a patient's sleep-wake complaints by establishing their narrative.

Comprehend and critically evaluate the many different testing options for the diagnosis of Sleep Apnea,

Comprehend and critically evaluate the many different options available for the treatment of Sleep Apnea, including a discussion of emerging options, like INSPIRE and EXCITE.

Comprehend and clinically integrate basic science concepts of the regulation of sleep-wake signaling (an introduction to the Two Process Model). This objective will include a practical working knowledge of the complexity sensemaking tool: The Circadian Rhythmo-Wheel.

Identify and triage common complications of therapy, including positive airway pressure toxicity, Willis Ekbom Disease (“restless legs syndrome”) and treatment emergent central sleep apnea.
