patient monitoring. Students will become familiar with the skills and knowledge needed to obtain and
evaluate high quality sleep recordings. All aspects of event recognition, instrumentation setup and
calibration, recording and monitoring techniques, documentation, therapeutic interventions, and patient-
technologist interactions related to sleep technology are covered. Laboratory sessions provide practical
experience in the skills required to obtain and evaluate high quality sleep recordings. SLPT 2008, SLPT
2101, and SLPT 2105 are co-requisite to this course. Pre-requisites include SLPT 1001, SLPT 1002,
