Our Participation in New Sleep Research
The clinical team at SleepMed of SC contributes to advancements in the field of sleep medicine through their participation in clinical research studies for new drug therapies, as well as through our service on the faculty for international, national, regional or local medical conferences/meetings, where our knowledge and research findings are shared with other sleep colleagues.
Contributions to Sleep Education through Research
Additionally, we have originated and clinically validated several research projects that have resulted in scientific presentations at international meetings, the most recent in March of 2009.
