Show Notes

Why aren’t primary care doctors asking about sleep? This podcast covers an important but underrated discussion about what work is actually being done to develop better sleep disorder assessments and screening tools so that primary care doctors are better equipped to discuss sleep and more people reach an accurate diagnosis and treatment sooner.
 
Guests include:
Dr. Dennis Hwang - Pulmonologist, Primary Investigator for Sleep Vital Sign Study, Kaiser Permanente Sleep Medicine and Department of Research and Evaluation.
Dr. Michael Perlis - Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Associate Professor of Nursing; Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Andrew Philip - clinical health psychologist and a leader working on healthcare transformation initiatives. He's passionate about integrating care to better address patient and provider needs, and enhancing care for underserved and often undervalued populations.
 
This discussion was originally recorded during Project Sleep’s Sleep Advocacy Forum in October 2021. Learn more: https://project-sleep.com/2021-sleep-advocacy-forum/
