The RSCC Polysomnography program is a one year certificate program.
Polysomnographic technology is an allied health specialty for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. There are over 80 different sleep disorders including sleep apnea, narcolepsy and insomnia.
Students will learn how to operate sophisticated electronic monitoring devices which record brain activity (EEG), muscle and eye movements, blood oxygen levels and physiological events.
Polysomnographic technologists are employed in sleep disorders centers in hospitals, clinics and office settings. This program will provide lectures, laboratory and clinical experiences at quality sleep centers. A major emphasis of the program will be to prepare technologists for board registration by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists.
Upon successful completion of the Polysomnography program, the graduate is eligible to apply to take the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists Exam.
The Polysomnography Program is taught at the Knox County Center for Health Sciences.
The Roane State Community College Polysomnographic Technology Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of Committee on Accreditation for Polysomnographic Technologist Education (CoA PSG).
