Polysomnography
Program Information
Course Schedule
The courses for the polysomnography curriculum are designed so that each semester’s requirements must be met before proceeding into the next semester. Instruction is performed in classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings and via distance education. The class and lab portions of each course will be completed prior to the clinical portion. The clinical portion will include day and night rotations and will generally be 8 to 12 hours in length.

Special Note: Contracts between CVCC and the clinical facilities specify the conditions upon which students may be allowed to participate in clinical practice. As a result, students may be required to complete a criminal background check and/or drug test prior to or during participation in clinical practice. Pending the outcome of the criminal background check and/or drug test, students may not be able to be assigned to the clinical facilities which will result in the student’s inability to complete the program.
