To assess the current state of sleep medicine educational resources and training offered by North American psychiatry residency programs.
In June 2013, a 9-item peer-reviewed Sleep Medicine Training Survey was administered to 39 chief residents of psychiatry residency training programs during a meeting in New York.
Thirty-four percent of the participating programs offered an elective rotation in sleep medicine. A variety of innovative approaches for teaching sleep medicine were noted. The majority of the chief residents felt comfortable screening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (72%), half felt comfortable screening for restless legs syndrome (53%), and fewer than half were comfortable screening for other sleep disorders (47%).
This is the first report in the last decade to provide any analysis of current sleep medicine training in North American psychiatry residency training programs. These data indicate that sleep medicine education in psychiatry residency programs is possibly in decline.
评估北美精神病学住院医师培训项目提供的睡眠医学教育资源和培训的现状。
2013年6月,在纽约的一次会议期间,对39名精神病学住院医师培训项目的主任住院医师进行了一项经过同行评审的包含9个项目的睡眠医学培训调查。
34%的参与项目提供睡眠医学选修轮转课程。注意到了多种教授睡眠医学的创新方法。大多数主任住院医师对筛查阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者感到得心应手(72%),一半人对筛查不宁腿综合征感到得心应手(53%),不到一半的人对筛查其他睡眠障碍感到得心应手(47%)。
这是过去十年中首份对北美精神病学住院医师培训项目当前睡眠医学培训进行任何分析的报告。这些数据表明,精神病学住院医师培训项目中的睡眠医学教育可能在衰退。
