The Fellowship in Sleep Medicine at LSU Health Shreveport is an ACGME accredited one-year program that is designed to provide a high-quality experience in all aspects of sleep medicine. The program has a heavy emphasis on patient centered teaching in the clinic, sleep lab and hospital, plus structured reading and conferences.

Fellows have had a 100% board pass rate for the past five years.

Fellows gain experience with multiple complex sleep diagnoses, and oversee the diagnosis and management of outpatients and inpatients of all ages. Adults and children are seen in our multidisciplinary sleep center. Our two training sites are the Sleep Disorders Center at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport and the Sleep Lab at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center.

Although housed in neurology, the sleep center faculty who attend our teaching sleep clinics are multidisciplinary and include neurology, psychiatry, internal medicine, family medicine and pulmonary care. Sleep fellows work closely with attending physicians in a collegial and tutorial academic environment.
