PSG Record Scoring Seminar $699 per person
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION
This Continuing Education course is a 15-hour seminar with a minimum requirement of 6 months Polysomnography work experience and is composed of didactic and laboratory instruction. It is designed to teach the basics of Polysomnography Record scoring. Attendees are trained in the theory and practical application of the rules for scoring sleep and wakefulness, limb activity, various respiratory events, and Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) / Maintenance of wakefulness Test (MWT). Upon completion the individual should be able to understand the methods needed to successfully score a clinical polysomnographic record.

PSG Scoring 101
PSG SCORE 101: SLEEP SCORING OVERVIEW
The student will learn a brief introduction to Sleep technology, Normal Sleep Architecture and various diagnoses which the polysomnogram aids in assessing. This course will provide practical training in polysomnogram record scoring and interpretation. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the different rhythms and frequencies that are related to the EEG. The student will also have the opportunity to learn about rules associated with these rhythms and frequencies to aid in the staging of various levels of sleep.
2 hrs Theory
Pre-requisites a minimum requirement of 6 months Polysomnography work experience
PSG Scoring 102
PSG SCORE 102: SLEEP EEG RHYTHM AND FREQUENCY RECOGNITION PS1
The student will learn comprehensive, practical laboratory training in polysomnogram record review. Participants will have the opportunity to examine different polysomnogram that were recorded in a digital as well as analog format. Participants will have the opportunity to practice identifying common frequencies associated with sleep.
2 hrs Theory
Pre-requisites a minimum requirement of 6 months Polysomnography work experience
PSG Scoring 103
The student will learn comprehensive, practical training in polysomnogram event scoring. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the most common events encountered during an overnight sleep study, and the rules that make up these events.
3 Hrs Theory
Pre-requisites a minimum requirement of 6 months Polysomnography work experience
PSG Scoring 104
PSG SCORE 104: EVENT SCORING OF CLINICAL RECORDS PS2
The student will learn comprehensive, practical laboratory training in polysomnogram event scoring (Respiratory, PLMS, and Arousals). Participants will have the opportunity to practice scoring on several different records, (digital and analog) and look for the most common events encountered during an overnight sleep study.
2 Hrs Theory
Pre-requisites a minimum requirement of 6 months Polysomnography work experience
PSG Scoring 105
PSG SCORE 105: ARTIFACT RECOGNITION OVERVIEW
The student will learn comprehensive, practical training in polysomnogram Artifact recognition. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the different types of non-EEG artifact that plague the polysomnogram, and also have the opportunity to learn about what corrective actions to take.
