"Evaluation of Sleep Disorders" Presentation Materials

Craig Canapari MD

by Craig Canapari MD

I'm giving a presentation today for primary care doctors at the annual "Primary Care Pediatrics" CMD event sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital for Children and Harvard Medical School. This is always a fun event. I want to share the material I am using during my presentation.

UPDATED Evaluation of Pediatric Sleep Disorders Slide 2012

Evaluation of pediatric sleep disorders syllabus

Behavioral Problems vignettes

Please let me know if you find these materials useful.

Note that the second vignette is from Dr. Heidi Roman's excellent blog My Two Hats. Check it out.

Addendum: I have added the updated slides. If you have questions I did not address (and we ran short on time due to the great questions,) please ask them below.

I also am going to address the questions in a blog post next week. Stay tuned!
