During each assignment, you may monitor the sleep patterns of patients, support research studies, provide oxygen therapy, and check various vital signs as needed. Many details of this job depend on the patient and the reason they are at the sleep clinic. For example, one patient may be there so a doctor can get information on their esophageal pressure at night, while another may need nasal or oral airflow monitoring. You utilize different types of equipment, including polysomnographs, positive airway pressure devices and accessory equipment, out of center sleep testing (OCST) devices, oximeters, and other screening devices.

Additionally, frequent travel can lead to irregular schedules, so effective time management and self-care are essential. However, this role provides exposure to diverse clinical environments and can significantly expand your professional network and skills.
