In the hustle of addressing rehab challenges, the profound influence of sleep on patient recovery fades into the background.

Through this training, you’ll explore sleep through the lens of rehabilitation and learn to integrate sleep assessment and intervention into your treatment plan. Understand and share the gifts of “sleep hygiene” with your patients in any setting. This important seminar will redefine patient care through the power of sleep!
