Description: This curriculum was designed in consideration of the critical need to address several long-standing challenges sleep medicine specialists face when treating patients with narcolepsy. A major hurdle has been rapid and accurate diagnosis, given that symptoms often overlap with psychiatric and other neurological conditions. Treatment is also changing; while the treatment landscape has long been dominated by symptomatic management, recent updates to clinical guidelines and the development of mechanism-based therapies, such as OX2R agonists, signal a potential shift in future treatments. After decades of limited therapeutic innovation, narcolepsy is entering a new era of targeted approaches that address underlying pathophysiology. Sleep specialists will likely face new challenges incorporating these investigational therapies into practice once they are available.

Offering clinicians a structured opportunity to review emerging data, share practical insights, and discuss implementation strategies represents a timely and impactful opportunity to advance narcolepsy care. However, addressing these complex issues realistically requires a great deal more than participating in a single live or digital educational activity. This program opts for extended interactions, mentoring, and peer-to-peer discussions among small groups of highly qualified and motivated practitioners.
