Not immediately. Completing A-STEP qualifies you to begin working as a polysomnographic trainee, but you’ll still need to fulfill clinical experience requirements outlined by the BRPT before you can sit for the RPSGT exam.

Begin with local hospitals, private sleep centers, and medical equipment suppliers. Also explore job listings on professional sleep organization sites like AAST and BRPT, plus opportunities seen at regional and national sleep medicine conferences.

Salary varies by region, experience, and shift timing. The AAST’s 2010 survey provides a useful baseline, and annual compensation trends are reported in Sleep Review. For current, local data, consider reviewing the latest AAST or BRPT surveys.
