S. Krishna, MD Earns Additional Credential In Sleep Medicine
Dr. Krishna, Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Knox Community Hospital, recently passed the Sleep Medicine Board Certification examination of the American Board of Internal Medicine. Previously the only certification recognizing sleep medicine was awarded through the American Board of Sleep Medicine, which Dr. Krishna earned in 2003. “It is anticipated that this new examination will become the benchmarking standard for sleep medicine as it comes into its own and is recognized as a distinct specialty,” said Dr. Krishna.
Sleep medicine is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting sleep and daytime alertness and the effect of the sleep processes upon other medical disorders. The field of sleep medicine developed because specialized knowledge of the sleeping brain, and of pathological deviations from normal sleep physiology, provides the physician with the expertise to recognize and treat sleep related illness.
