Summary:	"Competencies in Sleep Medicine provides the knowledge and curriculum needed for a Sleep Medicine Training Program. The approach is consistent with the goals of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which asks programs to develop specific and targeted approaches to each program that covers the material presented in the Training Program. Authored by leaders in the field, each chapter focuses on an area of knowledge and skills in sleep medicine and offers appropriate examples of instruction and assessment. These principles and protocols for training can be used by a program to address weaknesses, assess trainees in a standardized fashion, and provide additional measurable benchmarks. Those who judge trainee progress and achievement will find Competencies in Sleep Medicine to be the standard resource for defining and achieving student learning outcomes, while encouraging autonomous learning."--Publisher's description. "This book describes goals, curricula, and post-learning, formative assessments for the knowledge and skill sets that could be developed and acquired in training programs, for instance, an ACGME-accredited program for Sleep Medicine. Each chapter is designed to address the needs of Training Directors and Training Programs presenting material in a unique educational goal-based format, rather than an approach focused on content, and accordingly provides examples for assessment. Thus, each chapter has a focus on an area or cluster of areas of knowledge or skills in sleep medicine and articulates appropriate means and examples of instruction for an assessment of the knowledge or skill set in that topic. These principal components and assessments could be used by a program to respond to ACGME calls for such material in the broad range of sleep medicine, address weaknesses in existing program material, and assess trainees in a standardized fashion with the potential for measurable benchmarks."--Preface, page vii.
