The purpose of this educational activity is to provide advanced training to clinical psychologists, social workers, PhD/NP level nurses and physicians in the practice of CBT-I. The workshop is roughly evenly split between didactics and active learning exercises. The learning exercises (Day 2 & 3) include e.g., case presentations and role plays. The lectures (Day 1 & 2) cover several topics including advanced models of insomnia, actigraphy, interpreting PSG reports, alternative treatment strategies (e.g., sleep compression, bright light treatment, etc.), alternative treatment delivery modes (e.g. group, telehealth, etc.) and issues regarding medication titration. The programme should position clinicians to more effectively deal with complex issues and cases. This training, along with other CE workshops, supervised practice, a past case load of 10 or more cases, and a reasonable programme of self-study (readings and videos) should adequately prepare individuals for the certification exams.
The courses are open to applicants from all countries. Competence in understanding spoken English is required.
Proffessors Jason Ellis, Michael Perlis and Donn Posner deliver these courses through a series of interactive lectures and concrete examples of how to conduct therapy.

We recommend you have treated 3 - 5 patients with CBT-I after completion of the Basic CBT-I course prior to commencing the Advanced CBT-I course. You can arrange a mentor to supplement the materials presented in the course. This can be arranged by securing peer supervision and/or telephone consultation with a practising behavioural sleep medicine specialist.
The Advanced Practice of CBT-I course is advanced training and you should have the requisite experience to benefit from, and contribute to, the course including three or more of the following: 1) training as a clinical provider; 2) prior coursework in behavioural principles and practice; 3) continuing education coursework or more than 6 months’ work experience within sleep medicine; 4) continuing education coursework or more than 6 months’ work experience (or 5 cases) with CBT-I.
Accreditation for CPD points is applied for to The Royal College of Physicians in the UK.
Whilst it is not possible to provide CE/CME for all disciplines (let alone for all countries), it is our experience that one can petition one’s professional society for credits. If required, we can provide a request letter, a copy of the course objectives/outline, a completion certificate etc, which should be sufficient to to allow the granting of CE/CME credits.
If you would like to register for any of the courses or require further information, please get in touch.
