Introduction

Our program has a rich history of being initiated by Dr. Richard Berry and Dr. Mary Wagner in 2007 and has been accredited by the ACGME since 2008. Graduating fellows are currently involved in both academic sleep medicine and private clinical practice, with participation in National Sleep committees and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

The University of Florida offers a one-year Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program for physicians interested in developing clinical expertise in this growing field of medicine. This training program provides you the opportunity to evaluate and manage a broad variety of sleep disorders in both adult and pediatric patients, including: sleep disordered breathing, sleep related movement disorders, central disorders of hypersomnolence, parasomnias, insomnia. As a fellow, you will develop the clinical acumen and skills for using and interpreting diagnostic tools such as: polysomnography, home sleep tests, multiple sleep latency testing, maintenance of wakefulness testing, actigraphy and oximetry.
