Schedule
We are excited to announce that for the 2020-2021 series, during the months of July, August, and September, we will be presenting a historic seminar series, entitled, "Essential Topics in Behavioral Sleep Medicine." (The regular seminar series will pick back up in October.)
For this special series, we will be featuring 36 speakers, addressing some of the key topics in Behavioral Sleep Medicine. As always, attendance and continuing education credits are FREE. There is NO corporate sponsorship. After this series is over, all recordings will be made freely available for trainees. We have other ideas about how to best use these recordings to support trainees and will announce those as they come online.
