“If all humans were alike, there would be one way to communicate. Thankfully, we are each unique! Thus the opportunity to find many ways to talk to each other is integral to working together.  When complex material needs to be shared, the ‘expert’ often struggles to remember what it was like to not know the subject. The learner, then, has no easy way ‘in’ to discover new knowledge and apply it to their life.

Empowered Sleep Apnea  provides a wide-open gateway for health care professionals to exchange valuable strategies for improving health in their communities.  The story-telling format creates common ground (an island, we might say) for learning by curious experts and those looking to them for guidance.  

With millions of humans suffering from illnesses related to poor breathing, every tool we can bring to bear on this health care crisis is welcomed.  Empowered Sleep Apnea is not a dense textbook, but it contains great science. It is not a simple patient brochure, but it is accessible and conversation-promoting.  It is not just another blog, but it is a place to freely exchange ideas. Using what we discover through Empowered Sleep Apnea, we will help people breathe better, every night.”

The curriculum is presented in a style understandable without a medical degree …to provide unique teaching tools suitable not only for patients, but which will also benefit sleep trainees and others interested in expanding their own teaching knowledge and tools.  .”
