New Sleep Medicine Board Examinations


It's time to register for the sleep medicine examinations. Pretty much everyone with sleep experience is elgible during the "grandfathering" period. For internists/pulmonologists, you can find out more info here. The early registration period is March 1 to May 1 2007. Here is the site for psychiatrists/neurologists. Here is the site for ENT physicians. This is the site for pediatricians.

Family practitioners are out of luck for now; their board is not yet sponsoring the new examination.

The cost of the exam for those whose primary board is the American Board of Internal Medicine is $1575. The application was very easy- took me about 2 minutes online, and it will take me about another minute to fax my sleep board certification certificate (from the old certifying organization) to the American Board of Internal Medicine.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine site has frequent updates about the board exams.
