The goal of this symposium is to expose health professionals and scientists with up-to-date information on the relation between sleep health and infectious diseases and the immune system.

Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to discuss, identify, and explore aspects of sleep and cardiovascular disease throughout the life course. Participants will gain knowledge of this topic in healthy conditions and disease states. Our goals are to provide cutting-edge information and research findings to clinicians and scientists at all stages of their career and with diverse background and expertise; to create an interactive setting via discussions with each speaker and program director in which attendees can meet and learn from program faculty; and to discuss sleep’s role in the immune system in individuals in all stages of life.

Target Audience
The course targets health professionals in the broad fields of primary care, pediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and cardiology, as well as scientists working in the fields of sleep and brain health. This course is open to medical doctors, researchers, nurses, physician assistants, fellows.
