Mini-Residency Program



Register today!

We are offering two programs this year. One program begins in Summer 2024 and prepares participants to take the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) board offered in July of 2025. A second program begins in Fall 2024 and prepares participants to take the ABDSM board offered in January of 2026. Other than start dates, the two programs are identical; both consist of Mastery 1 and 2 components, transpiring over a 1-year time period.


For the Summer program, Registration will be open from May 1 to September 27, 2024.
For the Fall program, Registration will be open from September 27, 2025, to March 1, 2025.



Introduction

The University of Michigan School of Dentistry is offering a Mini-Residency in dental sleep medicine for licensed dentists, providing over 100 hours of CE credit. This evidence-based program will expand participants’ understanding of sleep and sleep-related breathing disorders, competence to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliance therapy. Participants will gain confidence working with patients, physicians, and medical insurance.

The Mini-Residency is accredited by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). Participants successfully completing Mastery 1 will be eligible to become a Qualified Dentist through the AADSM. Participants successfully completing Mastery 2 will be eligible to take the board to become Diplomates of the ABDSM.


Program Description

The program consists of pre-recorded lectures, in-person clinical training, live streaming review sessions, and self-guided study elements. Important parts of the program are two weekend sessions that must be done in person at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.
Lectures are given by leading University of Michigan faculty and clinicians. Most lecture material will be available on line, accessible at the participant’s convenience.

Educational Session at University of Michigan School of Dentistry Sleep Medicine

The in-person weekend sessions are devoted to clinical training and clinical demonstrations. Participants will learn, step-by-step, dental sleep medical procedures, using themselves as a patient in the process. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit the University of Michigan Sleep Disorder Center.
Guided self-study includes pre-recorded lectures, quizzes, video demonstrations, literature reviews and competency assignments. Participants will complete two guided cases on patients in their home practices, which will involve fabricating and delivering oral appliances. We offer weekly reviews of the literature in preparation for the board.

Educational Session at University of Michigan School of Dentistry Sleep Medicine

Mastery 1 examines fundamental concepts of sleep, sleep disorders, comprehensive examination skills, and practical techniques necessary to incorporate oral appliance therapy (OAT) into a general or specialty dental practice. Participants will learn the AADSM standards of clinical practice necessary to perform patient screening, examination and record acquisition to begin treatment with competence and confidence. Successful graduates of Mastery 1 will be eligible to achieve “Qualified Dentist” status, a term that is recognized not only by the AADSM, but also by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and many medical insurers. During the Mastery 1 in-person clinical session, participants will pair up to take impressions and protrusive bites to fabricate appliances for each other.

Mastery 2 builds on the knowledge and clinical proficiency gained in Mastery 1 with continued emphasis on skill development. In the clinical session, participants will deliver appliances on each other. They will gain clinical competence and confidence with delivery and titration methods. Breakout sessions will cover such things as device design and selection. Lectures will develop a more in-depth understanding of normal sleep and the consequences of poor quality sleep. Exploring alternative treatments such as surgery and CPAP will lay a foundation for guiding patient decision making and anticipating combining therapies for best outcomes.

Educational Session at University of Michigan School of Dentistry Sleep Medicine

Both Mastery 1 and 2 are necessary prerequisites for the dentist to be eligible to apply for the board offered by the ABDSM. Successful passing of the board exam allows a participant to become a diplomat of the ABDSM.
