Circadian Rhythm Disruption and Sleep

Dates

See course dates on main page.  

Overview

Individual modules from the Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine are available as standalone short courses to facilitate professional practice. In this short continuing professional development (CPD) course, you will develop your knowledge of how to assess human circadian rhythms using subjective and objective methods, build understanding of the treatment options available for circadian rhythm disruption, and consider their mode of action.

Learning Outcomes

It is expected that after completion of this module students will be able:

• To develop knowledge of how to assess human circadian rhythms using subjective and objective methods
• To understand the complex pathophysiology of circadian rhythm disruption
• To understand the implications of misalignment between endogenous and exogenous factors in the development of circadian rhythm disruption
• To describe associations between circadian rhythm disruption and disease
• To understand the treatment options available for circadian rhythm disruption and consider their mode of action
