The Wake-Up Workshop Initiative: Your Practical, Comprehensive Guide to Obstructive Sleep Apnea is designed to equip primary care physicians (PCPs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician associates (PAs) with the practical knowledge and tools needed to identify, diagnose, and manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With up to 80% of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cases going undetected, millions of patients remain at risk for serious comorbidities—often without knowing it. This continuing education activity empowers providers with actionable, evidence-based strategies to spot the warning signs, confidently screen and diagnose OSA, and guide patients through effective obesity management and long-term treatment monitoring.

Primary care physicians (PCPs) and advanced practice providers (APPs) including nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs)

At the end of this educational initiative, learners will:

• Discuss the importance of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including its relationship to disease associated complications
• Screen patients for and diagnose OSA using evidence-based guideline recommendations
• Develop guideline-directed obesity management plans for patients with OSA as part of an evidence-based OSA treatment strategy
• Monitor treatment for OSA and modify therapy, as appropriate
