12th Biennial Pediatric Sleep Medicine Conference
Live in-person at The Westin Hilton Head Resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA
 | The Twelfth Biennial Conference on Pediatric Sleep Medicine is designed to bring together a multi-disciplinary group of basic and clinical researchers, clinicians, educators, policymakers, and trainees involved in pediatric sleep medicine. The meeting represents an exceptional opportunity to network, share knowledge and ideas, and establish collaborative projects. |
The Pediatric Sleep Medicine Conference 2023 has a very distinctive perspective and offers pediatric practitioners and trainees the opportunity to unite to learn about state-of-the-art developments in clinical and research arenas of pediatric sleep medicine, focusing on recognizing and improving care of patients. This conference is the only US-based comprehensive forum solely dedicated both to the presentation of cutting-edge pediatric sleep and circadian research and innovations in the clinical practice of pediatric sleep medicine. Since the first Pediatric Sleep Medicine meeting in 2005, the meeting has successfully reached physicians, psychologists, sleep technologists, researchers, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, and trainees from across the globe. The Biennial Pediatric Sleep Medicine Conference is sponsored by the Office of Continuing Medical Education at Brown University. A Conference Brochure is attached below. | |
