Welcome

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is pleased to present Sleep University, a multimedia continuing medical education (CME) program. Our mission is to educate all clinicians involved in primary care on the diagnosis and management of insomnia.

Sleep University strives to develop programs that are educational and useful. To continue to do so, we have designed surveys to help us evaluate both your educational needs and our programs. We encourage you to complete them, so that we may provide even better programs in the future.

We will be adding new CME programs in 2010. Please register to receive e-mails about these programs as they are added to our Web site.

Thank you for visiting SleepUniversityCME.com.
