Welcome To The Wild West

We’re less than a week away from the 4th Annual BRPT Symposium and the Symposium Committee has been hard at work preparing for an exceptional conference this year. I encourage RPSGTs who’ve not already signed up to do so as we’ve got an exciting line up of sessions focusing on leadership and innovation, providing excellent learning and networking opportunities. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about the development of the BRPT exams and how you can become more involved with the organization.

I’m a huge fan of our keynote speaker, Dr. Lee-Chiong, Chief, Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver. Dr. Lee-Chiong specializes in circadian sleep disorders, insomnia, parasomnias, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea and sleep-related movement disorders. He’ll look at The Future of Sleep Medicine: Leadership and Mentoring, opening a program that will offer you a chance to examine the challenges of managing – and leading – in a dynamic, evolving field.

Our registrant list is impressive – comprised of RPSGTs many of whom are also accomplished Neurodiagnostic and Respiratory professionals, along with leading vendors in sleep technology. And, with 13 AAST CECs and 13 AARC CRCEs available, you’ll have the opportunity to earn a year’s worth of credits from just one meeting!

If you’ve been to one of the BRPT Symposiums before, you know it’s not all sessions and workshops. You can expect a great time with friends and professional colleagues. This year we’ll begin with an opening reception with our exhibitors on Thursday evening and continue through an all-Symposium “Welcome to the Wild West!” reception on Friday evening. Friday’s event – western costumes encouraged, and prizes awarded for the best – will feature great food and entertainment by The Jim Hyatt Band, sponsored by Weaver and Company.

I look forward to seeing you in Denver – cowboy hats encouraged!
