What career opportunities does this master offer?
Sleep Medicine is a multidisciplinary field that includes general medicine doctors, neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, pneumologists, pediatricians, endocrinologists, gynecologists, psychologists, odontologists, and nurses among others. The heterogeneous aspect of this medical area makes it essential to count with the basis of a good training/education in the field of Sleep Medicine.
It is for this reason that this master will be of good use for those medical professionals that seek to focus their practice in the field of sleep disorders/ sleep medicine. Moreover, counting with specific training in this field allows health professionals to broaden the scope of their clinical activity.
At the same time, we think that there is a lack of training for some professionals who, despite being exposed to them in daily clinical practice, have not had the opportunity to deepen their practice/knowledge/training. We can use pediatrics or family medicine as an example. Thus, this master will provide the necessary tools for the management of patients, increasing the quality they can offer.
The sleep Medicine field has been experiencing a sustained boom for years, due to the prevalence of sleep disorders among the general population. Therefore, it is of great necessity the existence of trained professionals who are familiarized with these pathologies.
