Two new session formats to debut at SLEEP 2012

In an effort to provide more clinically-relevant sessions at the SLEEP 2012 annual meeting, the APSS Program Committee has developed two new session formats for attendees looking for the latest information in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders:

Bench to Bedside Sessions
