Certification Description
The role of sleep technologists is important to the diagnostic and therapeutic services provided to sleep disorders patients. As the practice of sleep medicine evolves with new technologies and policies, there is an increased need for trained sleep technologists who have demonstrated their knowledge of sleep technology and aptitude in a clinical setting through a registry examination that leads to a credential in sleep technology.
The American Board of Sleep Medicine’s (ABSM) Sleep Technologist Registry Examination was developed by a Sleep Technologist Examination Committee comprised of senior members of the sleep technology profession and the sleep medicine field. The examination reflects the day-to-day responsibilities of the sleep technologist in a clinical setting and is based on the education and training pathways available for the sleep technology profession.
