Sleep Medicine Education and Practice in Latin America: Current Challenges and Perspectives
Significant disparities exist in sleep medicine education and healthcare access in Latin America. The lack of structured training limits local expertise development and increases reliance on international education. Raising awareness is a crucial step toward improving education and ensuring broader access to standardized sleep disorder care. Continued research is necessary to bridge existing gaps and enhance opportunities for specialized sleep medicine care.
