This program aims to assist medical students in learning the skills required to understand and manage an important community health issue, sleep health. The program allows students to undertake wide-ranging investigations before making decisions about appropriate treatment of sleep problems. It begins with an interactive role-play session where students get the opportunity to chair a public health forum on sleep health.

To further investigate topics raised in the forum, students access the resource sections on Polysomnography, Pathophysiology, Risk factors, Epidemiology, and Management. Students are then required to apply their knowledge of sleep health to four different patient cases, and to develop appropriate treatment regimes for each patient. The program encourages students to develop their own decision-making processes to resolve issues, in a manner that takes them beyond material covered in lectures, Problem Based Learning sessions and practical classes.
