2016 NAPSS Honolulu Conference
Successful Honolulu Conference
The NAPSS Annual Honolulu Meeting Conference, Global Sleep Medicine: East Meets West on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at The Queen’s Conference Center, was another success thanks to insightful speakers and generous vendor support. This program was approved by The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists for 6.0 CSTE continuing education credit. BRPT CE Program# 18p20162 Approval # 509216.
For the first time, NAPSS was honored to host two high schools students who are interested in sleep health and medicine. One student is an intern in a local sleep laboratory and the other started writing her senior paper in her Junior year on the impact of sleep less nights and sleep deprivation.
