A Certified Polysomnographic Technician (CPSGT) is an entry-level professional specializing in sleep technology and diagnostics. They assist in conducting sleep studies under the supervision of a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) or a physician. CPSGTs are trained to set up monitoring equipment, prepare patients for sleep studies, and collect data on sleep patterns, brain activity, and physiological changes during sleep. This certification demonstrates foundational knowledge in sleep medicine and a commitment to maintaining high standards of patient care. CPSGTs often pursue further certifications like RPSGT to advance their careers and contribute more comprehensively to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders.
