Sleep Scholar members! I’d like to bring to your attention a new sleep course I just heard about. The Pankey Institute, a long established place for dentists to go for education about occlusion and restorative care, has started two new Sleep-related courses. They will have a four day, intensive Dental Sleep Medicine course with Dr. John Remmers and a host of experienced dentists, followed by a two day Anatomy of the Airway and TMJ hands-on dissection course led by Dr. Richard Finn, who teaches this subject at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Attached are flyers for the courses. There are lots of sleep courses out there these days; this one looks like it is unbiased and, with four days, has time to really prepare the students for taking off in this exciting field. The attendees even get one of four sleep appliances for themselves included with the tuition!

The Pankey course is designed to be ‘non-partisan.’ Todd Morgan, DMD, is the Progam Chair of the AADSM meeting and he’s presenting – it is always a treat to hear him speak. The Pankey experience is always lecture plus hands-on plus informal discussion in condominiums the students stay at in Key Biscayne. I’ve been a student and on faculty there for many years, so I’m particularly excited to see this course. And, I must admit, a little biased.
I’m curious – how many Sleep Scholar members have been to Pankey? Do you think having it there improves your opinion about the course?
Hands-on skills often are missing from sleep courses. Pankey Institute attendees spend as much time in our clinic as they need, with one-on one instruction and coaching, so they return to their practice ready and able to implement the learning. No more wasted resources on only ‘book learning’ – we’ll teach you how to use it!
