Practicing sleep medicine/sleep medicine fellowship

Can anyone provide me more information into the sleep medicine field?

Do you have a specific question?

I've shadowed in it a bit.

Interested in this too. Can a GP specialize in sleep medicine, if so, what billing codes would be appropriate? 

[LostLamb 266]

Lots of GP sleep specialists out there--popular in Alberta it seems. 

Many do extra training in US, but their sleep medicine specialization isn't recognized in Canada apparently.

Cannot comment on the billing codes since I am not family med.

Is the specialization is not recognized, how can they call themselves GP sleep specialists and have a practice like that?

Well they are certified, it just isn't a canadian certification.
