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.
