Familiarity with polysomnography equipment, sleep study software, and certifications such as Basic Life Support (BLS) are typically required or preferred. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help trainees excel when working with patients and clinical teams. These skills and qualities are essential for accurately conducting sleep studies, ensuring patient safety, and supporting the diagnosis of sleep disorders.

What is a Polysomnography Trainee job?

Job description

Join our team at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital and experience world-class healthcare at its best. Indian River Hospital is in sunny Florida's Treasure Coast where it is committed to providing optimal family-centric and community-focused care. At Indian River Hospital, you will be part of a collaborative, compassionate, and innovative team of caregivers. You will work with state-of-the-art technology and will build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.


As a Registered Polysomnographic Technician on this team, you will help to accurately pinpoint the root cause of sleep problems, create personalized treatment plans to bring relief, and help patients find their way back to peaceful, restful sleep. The ideal caregiver is someone who genuinely wants their patients to have a positive experience when reporting for their sleep testing. Our team's goal is to improve patient access and reduce waiting times for tests.


A caregiver in this position works Thursday and Friday nights from 6:30PM - 6:30AM.


Caregiver who excels in this role will:

  • Perform comprehensive polysomnographic testing, scoring analysis and associated interventions.

  • Provide supervision of Polysomnographic Technicians and Polysomnographic Trainees.

  • Review history/physical information, medications, test requests and study protocol.

  • Complete and verify all documentation (pre- and post-sleep questionnaires, technician notes, etc.).

  • Explain the procedure and orient the patient to the sleep center.

  • Prepare and calibrate equipment required for testing to determine proper functioning and make adjustments, if necessary.

  • Apply electrodes and sensors according to accepted published standards.

  • Perform appropriate physiologic calibrations to ensure proper signals and make adjustments, if necessary.

  • Perform routine positive airway pressure (PAP) mask fitting.

  • Follow procedural protocols (e.g., MSLT, parasomnia studies, PAP and oxygen titration, etc.) to ensure collection of appropriate data.

  • Follow "Lights Out" procedures to establish and document baseline values (such as body position, oxyhemoglobin saturation, respiratory and heart rate, etc.)

  • Perform polysomnographic data acquisition while monitoring study-tracing quality to ensure signals are artifact-free and make adjustments, if necessary.

  • Document routine observations, including sleep stages and clinical events, changes in procedure, and other significant events in order to facilitate scoring and interpretation of polysomnographic results.

  • Implement appropriate interventions (including actions necessary for patient safety and therapeutic intervention such as continuous and bi-level positive airway pressure, oxygen administration, etc.).

  • Follow "Lights On" procedures to verify integrity of collected data and complete the data collection process (e.g. repeats the physiological and instrument calibrations and instructs the patient on completing the questionnaires, etc.)

  • Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and provide age specific care in the treatment, assessment, and education of pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients.

  • Assist with scoring sleep/wake stages by applying professionally accepted guidelines.

  • Assist with scoring clinical events (such as respiratory events, cardiac events, limb movements, arousals, etc.) with center specific protocols.

  • Assist with generation of accurate reports by tabulating sleep/wake and clinical event data.

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and standards regarding safety and infection control issues.


Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:

  • High School Diploma or GED

  • Registered Polysomnography Technologist (RPSGT)

  • Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross

  • Three years of experience as a Polysomnographic Technologist
