Picture - DoctorAre you looking for a rewarding career as a medical professional? 

Polysomnographic Technologists work with physicians in state-of-the-art medical facilities to diagnose and treat over 90 different sleep disorders. 

It is a profession where you can make a difference!

To become a Polysomnographic Technologist you can choose from two different educational pathways.  

1) Certificate of Polysomnographic Technology

The certificate option is a full time three quarter program.  The unique format of on-line lectures, hands-on lab done in segments and clinical internship arranged in the students home location is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of students from different geographical areas.   This is a great option for students working in the medical field or someone very motivated to complete their education in one year and get working!

 2) Associates of Applied Science in Polysomnographic Technology

The associates degree option is a two year program offering the student a firm foundation in basic respiratory therapy before focusing on polysomnographic technology.  Students attend classes on the Highline Community College campus the first four quarters of the program.  During the last three quarters students change learning format to on-line lectures, hands-on labs in block units and a clinical internship found in the certificate option. This is a great option for students new to the medical field.

Both options provide excellent preparation for entry in the polysomnographic technology field!
