International Sleep Medicine Course 2014 The International Sleep Medicine Course is a joint venture of the Sleep Societies of Belgium, the UK and The Netherlands. In a three year scheme each Society organizes this 3-4 days lasting course. Up to now the course gave an overview of all aspects of Sleep Medicine and focussed on the physician or psychologist who already had some experience in the field. The 2014 course aims at providing good knowledge of all fields of Sleep Medicine on the level of the “Catalogue” issued by the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS) and prepares for the exams as Somnologist/Expert in Sleep medicine or Somnologist/Expert in Sleep technology, organized by the ESRS. This results in two separate courses: one for sleep doctors and sleep psychologists and one for sleep technicians. Both courses have a schedule of half time plenary lectures and hands-on and interactive teaching in small groups during the other part of the day. The venue is a centuries old convent which was gradually modernized over a period of many years leading to an optimal centre for courses as ours. De Ruwenberg is located in St. Michielsgestel, a nice village near the larger city of Den Bosch. If weather permits walking or biking in this region is a pleasant experience. We hope you will enjoy the course(s) and in particular will have fruitful contacts on Sleep Medicine with colleagues and teachers.
