About this Podcast
HOST: welcome to the show, everyone. I'm thrilled to have Dr. Smith with us today. Dr. Smith is an expert in the field of sleep genetics, and will be sharing insights about their new course, "Advanced Certificate in Parasomnia Genetics." Let's dive right in, shall we? [intro music fades out] Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your experience that led you to create this course? GUEST: Certainly! I've spent over two decades researching sleep disorders and genetics. I noticed a gap in available courses for professionals like me, who seek to better understand the genetic factors influencing parasomnias. HOST: That's a great segue to my next question. What are the current trends in the industry when it comes to incorporating genetics into sleep science? GUEST: Genetic testing in sleep medicine is rapidly evolving. We're now able to identify specific genetic markers that can predict susceptibility to certain sleep disorders, which allows for personalized treatment plans. HOST: That sounds fascinating and crucial for precision care. On the flip side, what are some challenges faced while learning or teaching this subject matter? GUEST: A major challenge is the rapid advancement in genetic research. Keeping up-to-date with new findings and integrating them into the curriculum is time-consuming but essential for delivering accurate information. HOST: Absolutely, and it's great that you're dedicated to staying current. Now, looking ahead, how do you foresee the role of genetics evolving in sleep science? GUEST: Genetics will play an even bigger role in sleep medicine. As we discover more about the genetic foundation of various sleep disorders, we'll be better equipped to provide personalized treatment plans and potentially prevent these disorders altogether.
