The Certification in Clinical Sleep Health (CCSH) Exam Preparation course (PSGT 2074) reviews the fundamentals of polysomnography while introducing the healthcare professional to the role of the clinical sleep health professional. The course consists of 14 modules of instruction and concludes with a 100-question final exam formatted similarly to the CCSH exam.
Modules include:
| Sleep architecture and variations in normal sleep | Questionnaires, surveys, and diagnostic testing |
| Pathophysiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation of abnormal sleep | Performance improvement and quality |
| Sleep disorder clinical presentation criteria | Sleep disorders as a public health issue |
| Sleep and medical history | Sleep hygiene |
| Impact of co-morbid conditions | Collaborative sleep programs |
| Evaluation of treatment | Technology in education |
| Patient and family education | Evaluation in healthcare education |
Cost is $250. Students have up to 8 weeks to complete all modules and the final exam. The 8-week terms start in January, March, June, August, and October (see registration page for actual start dates). If students earn an average of 75% on all course quizzes and earn a minimum of 75% on the final exam, they will be provided a certificate of completion that can be used to apply for Pathway #3 of the BRPT’s CCSH exam (BRPT STAR Program # CSS002). The course is also eligible for 48 continuing sleep technology education credits that have been approved by the BRPT as long as the student meets the requirements to receive the certificate of completion for the course as outlined above.
