What happens when a clinician falls in love with sleep medicine and decides to help build the future of the profession?

In this episode of Clinical Sleep Health Conversations™, hosts Mrs. Donnie Brown-Hill and Kelly Gladden sit down with Cecile Martin, PA-C, Vice President and Co-Founder of Sleep Medicine Advanced Practice Providers (SMAP), to discuss her journey into sleep medicine, the growing need for advanced practice providers, and the importance of expanding access to sleep care.

Together, they explore workforce shortages, patient access challenges, telehealth, sleep apnea, leadership, education, and the role advanced practice providers can play in helping meet the growing demand for sleep services.

The conversation also highlights the importance of empowering healthcare professionals, breaking down silos across specialties, and helping patients understand a simple but powerful truth:

"You deserve to feel your best."
