我们的总体目标是开发一个睡眠医学教育倡议 这将为医学生、住院医生和从业者提供 为病人提供最佳护理所需的评估和管理技能 患有睡眠障碍。目标1：让睡眠医学教育成为一个整体 是医科学生课程的一部分。教育目标将是 由通过多学科咨询获得的广泛教职员工意见定义 委员会审议阶段。课程材料将通过评估可用材料来准备 材料和开发新的教学材料。对睡眠的评估 教育成果将通过应用当前的方法来实现 睡眠倡议和建立与睡眠有关的数据库 测试项目、临床模拟和患者护理练习。目标2：实现 为符合以下条件的医生制定跨学科教育计划 在我们机构的培训和实践中。教育的重点将是 提供关于获得准确的睡眠历史的信息， 认识常见的睡眠障碍并提出适当的处理方法 战略。教育干预将包括说教会议， 以病人为中心的临床会议，并建立一个睡眠 临床问题资源中心。评估结果将包括 驻地人员在职考试、图表审计前后 干预和自我评估练习。目标3：提供 为学生和学生提供睡眠医学研究/教育机会 在模范初级保健诊所接受培训的医生。简单的睡眠 调查问卷将在一家示范初级保健诊所进行试点测试 确定其对普通睡眠的识别和管理的影响 精神错乱。 在完成建议的睡眠课程和教育 干预措施、学生、实习生和实践者将能够 建立常见睡眠障碍的初步诊断，并有 对最有效的干预和转诊有基本了解 选择。

Our overall goal is to develop a sleep medicine educational initiative that will provide medial students, residents and practitioners with the assessment and management skills necessary to optimally care for patients with sleep disorders. Aim 1: To make sleep medicine education an integral part of the medical student curriculum. Educational objectives will be defined by obtained broad faculty input via a multi-disciplinary advisory committee. Course materials will be prepared by evaluating available material and developing new instructional materials. Evaluation of sleep educational outcomes will be achieved by applying current methodology to sleep initiatives and by the establishment of a data-bank of sleep-related test items, clinical simulations and patient-care exercises. Aim 2: To generate an interdisciplinary educational program for physicians who are in training and in practice at our institution. The educational focus will be to provide information on obtaining a accurate sleep history, recognizing common sleep disorders and proposing appropriate management strategies. Educational interventions will include didactic conferences, patient-oriented clinic conferences, and the establishment of a sleep resource center for clinical problems. Evaluation outcomes will include resident in-service examinations, chart audits before and after interventions and self-assessment exercises. Aim 3: To provide a research/educational opportunity in sleep medicine for students and physicians in training in a model primary care clinic. A simple sleep survey questionnaire will be pilot tested in a model primary care clinic to determine its effect on the recognition and management of common sleep disorders. Upon completing the proposed sleep curriculum and educational interventions, students, trainees and practitioners will be able to establish a preliminary diagnosis for common sleep disorders and have a basic understanding of the most effective interventions and referral options.
