Wellness: The Science of Sleep
This webinar will focus on the specific realm of wellness concerning the role that sleep plays in promoting physical and mental health. A general overview of the impacts of sleep (and sleep deprivation) on cognitive and motor function, physical homeostasis and disease initiation and progression, and mental health will be provided, followed by a review of the available data specific to veterinary surgeons and surgery residents. Finally, a panel discussion will evaluate the sleep-related challenges facing veterinary surgeons and residents in the context of resident training and patient care, with the aim of brainstorming strategies for maximizing sleep health and maintaining patient care while pursuing and maintaining a surgical career.
This webinar is offered free of charge to ACVS Diplomates and residents; however, registration is required to attend.
