By Essie Osborn


There are a lot of people who have some kind of sleep disorder or illness because of many factors that would actually disrupt their sleeping patterns. Now the professionals who will be able to help with this type of problem would be a sleep specialist Houston and would be able to prescribe medicine which would be able to help with this type of illness. If one would want to become a professional in this field, here are the steps he would have to take.

Now in order to become a doctor in this field, it is very important that one would first get all of the necessary educational requirements. The first of these requirements that he should get would be an undergraduate degree in a pre med course. This type of course would take up to four years to finish.

During this time, his course will put a lot of emphasis on human anatomy, basic biology, basic physics, and all the branches of chemistry as he will be utilizing the skills that are learned in this course. Now sleeping disorders would also have a psychological aspect to it which means he will also be having psychology subjects to deal with. All these subjects are very useful for his journey to med school.

After finishing those four years of pre med, then he may now go to med school to specialize in his course. Now since he is taking up sleep medicine, he will be studying the different types of disorders regarding sleeping habits and of course how to cure them with and without medicine. Do take note that med school will take another four or five years for one to finish.

Now while he is taking up his specialized course, his first three years will be residency training which means that his training would be in a hospital or a clinic. The doctors in the residency training program will be the ones who would be teaching the students about the field and how to go about. From there, they will know how they are to function in a hospital once they already graduate.

His last year would be an internship under the supervision of an actual doctor who works in the specialization that he is taking up. Now if one would just learn the theory portion of the course, he will go nowhere if he does not have the application portion. The internship or on the job training would be the application part.

After completing those two long courses, then one may now go ahead and become a doctor. However, in order to become a doctor he has to first make sure that he passes the exams. The first exam that he would need to pass would be an internal medicine exam.

The second exam is known as the sleep medicine certification exam and will determine whether one can practice sleep medicine or not. Once he has passed this, he will be receiving a license that he is already a practitioner. From there, he can already start practicing as a specialist.
