Kyungbok University Expands 'Polysomnography Training' for Industry Employees

Kyungbok University recently conducted the 'Sleep Academy' (Sleep Multidimensional Test Industry Employee Training) in collaboration with the Korea Sleep Science and Technology Research Association at the Seoul Industry-Academic Cooperation Hub Practice Support Center.

The Biomedical Center of the Department of Clinical Pathology at Gyeongbok University recently conducted the 'Sleep Academy' (Polysomnography Industry Employee Training) in collaboration with the Korean Society of Sleep Science and Technology at the Seoul Industry-Academic Cooperation Practice Support Center.

This academy, part of the LINC 3.0 project, was held for 12 clinical pathologists responsible for polysomnography at hospitals in the metropolitan area, focusing on basic medical knowledge related to polysomnography and the overall process of the test.

Since polysomnography was covered by insurance in 2018, the number of institutions conducting the test nationwide has rapidly increased, significantly expanding job opportunities for related professions such as clinical pathologists.

Professor Kim Dae-jin of the Department of Clinical Pathology at Gyeongbok University stated, "Polysomnography, which checks whether the sleep that occupies one-third of our daily life is maintained at a high quality without sleep disorders, requires the role of clinical pathologists who analyze the data. We will do our best to make Gyeongbok University a true mecca for polysomnography education by holding the 'Sleep Academy' twice a year from now on."
