Familiarity with polysomnography equipment, sleep monitoring software, and basic life support certification is typically required.

As an intern in a sleep study lab, you can expect to assist with setting up sleep monitoring equipment, observing sleep study participants, and collecting or cleaning data under supervision. You’ll often collaborate closely with sleep technologists, researchers, and sometimes clinicians, learning directly from their expertise. Interns frequently participate in team meetings to discuss study protocols and findings, which provides valuable insight into both the scientific and operational aspects of sleep research. This collaborative environment is ideal for building practical skills and professional relationships.

What is an Internship Sleep Study?

An Internship Sleep Study is a temporary position, often for students or recent graduates, where individuals assist researchers in conducting studies related to sleep patterns, disorders, and behaviors. Interns may help with participant recruitment, data collection, monitoring sleep sessions, and analyzing results under the supervision of experienced scientists. These internships offer hands-on experience in sleep research and exposure to the field of sleep medicine or neuroscience, making them valuable for those interested in healthcare or science careers.

Job description

The Section of Sleep Medicine at the Salisbury VA HealthCare Center (SVA HCS), in NC is seeking a physician leader with training and expertise in sleep medicine to oversee operations at its three sites of care (Salisbury, Charlotte and Kernersville). The SVA HCS is a complexity 1a facility. The medicine specialty program consists of a broad array of services with over 100 specialists and consistently ranked in the top 10 by volume of encounters in the VHA.Qualifications:To qualify for this position, you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.
Basic Requirements:
  • United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy.
  • Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine. The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed.
  • Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State, Territory, or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia.
  • Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training, approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:

    • (3) Non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of three years of verified independent practice in the United States (performing under a full and unrestricted license) performing duties related to the position they are applying for (United States fellowships would be creditable towards this requirement), which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the Physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences.
    • Exceptions:
      • Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as "Physician Resident Providers" (PRPs). PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e., not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent basis. PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged; rather, they are to have a "scope of practice" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision. Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
      • In rare and unusual circumstances, the Facility Director can submit a memo to the VISN Director through the VISN Chief Medical Officer, who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to the residency training requirement for Physicians whose composite record of experience, accomplishments, performance, and qualifications warrant such action.
  • Proficiency in spoken and written English.
Additional Requirement:
  • Medical degree (MD/DO); completion of Sleep Medicine fellowship training; eligibility for U.S. medical licensure.
Preferred Experience:
  • ABIM board certification in Sleep Medicine; demonstrated leadership experience in multi-site program operations; track record in education and/or research.
