Accredited Fellowship Programs

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has accredited behavioral sleep medicine training programs since 2005 and is in the process of transitioning accreditation to the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Accredited training programs promote excellence in the treatment of sleep disorders through behavioral and cognitive methods. They also provide the training required to sit for the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Exam.

Training consists of 1,000 hours of supervised clinical training in behavioral sleep medicine, or 500 hours in behavioral sleep medicine and 500 hours in general behavioral medicine. The training period cannot exceed four years.

The following behavioral sleep medicine training programs (alphabetical order) have earned accreditation from the AASM. Contact these programs directly to find out about their requirements for enrollment:
