Graduate Medical Education
Sleep Medicine Fellowship
Clinical Schedule

The fellow will participate in multidisciplinary clinics at Rush University Medical Center with an attending clinician, rotating between different disciplines (psychology, neurology, psychiatry and pulmonary medicine). An intake letter will be generated to include a history, physical and clinical assessment. This letter will be reviewed with the attending clinician. The fellow will be responsible for reviewing any diagnostic testing on patients seen in clinic, generating an appropriate written interpretation and discussing the findings with the attending clinician. The fellow will also participate in a weekly sleep clinic at the John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

The Inpatient Sleep Consult Service provides evaluations and any necessary diagnostic testing for appropriate inpatients. A rotating consult schedule will be posted to include both psychology residents and fellows. However, the sleep fellow will be responsible for evaluating complicated patients with extensive medical problems. Portable diagnostic testing will be supervised by the fellow and attending clinician and any written assessment will require review by an attending.

A weekly clinical case meeting will be held. This allows for discussion of clinical cases in detail and review of diagnostic testing. It also provides an opportunity for faculty members to address general questions the fellows may have. This can serve as a forum for individual tutorial, discussion of case presentations and lecture topics, and research.

Elective clinical rotations are available on an individual basis. Possible electives include rotations in otorhinolaryngology and pediatric sleep disorders.
