Overview
The Sleep Medicine Fellowship at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine is an intensive one-year postgraduate training program designed to develop physicians with comprehensive expertise in sleep disorders. The program offers balanced clinical exposure across adult and pediatric sleep medicine, including evaluation and management of sleep-disordered breathing, hypersomnolence, insomnia, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, and movement disorders during sleep. Fellows receive hands-on training in polysomnography interpretation, home sleep testing, positive airway pressure therapies, and multidisciplinary sleep clinic care. Training is conducted within accredited sleep laboratories and outpatient clinics, with close collaboration among pulmonology, neurology, psychiatry, and ENT services. The curriculum integrates structured didactics, case conferences, journal clubs, and quality improvement initiatives. Graduates are prepared for American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) subspecialty certification in Sleep Medicine and for careers in academic medicine, hospital-based sleep centers, or specialized sleep clinics.
