| HEALTH PROFESSIONS: Polysomnography
Employment opportunities for polysomnographers include freestanding sleep labs, physician offices, and polysomnography labs within hospitals. The demand for polysomnographers continues to rise. Salaries for registered polysomnographers are competitive with other health care professions such as nursing and respiratory therapy. More information on polysomnography may be found at http://aastweb.org/.
Applicants for this growing healthcare field may be individuals who are currently credentialed as health care professionals such as respiratory therapists, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, registered EEG technologists, EMT-paramedics, or physicians. Other applicants include those individuals who do not have current experience or credentials in health care.
