Registered sleep technologists are in high demand across the country and can command great starting salaries. Sleep disorders clinics can be found in hospitals and as stand-alone facilities. With the Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Management, registered technologists will have the opportunity to rapidly rise to a managerial position in any facility. Positions are also available in medical equipment training and sales.

Some students may begin the program with a foundation of transfer credits from another accredited university. After evaluating your credits, we work with you to develop an individualized plan to complete your program requirements.

A certificate will be awarded to students completing 42 credit hours of course work in polysomnography. Completion of the certificate will allow the graduate to sit for the national registry exam in Polysomnographic Technology. 

Please note that there is a three day residency requirement at the conclusion of the certificate program.  Students will be required to come to the OIT campus in Klamath Falls, Oregon to complete a mock practical and written exam in preparation for taking the national registry exam. 

The three clinical polysomnographic technology courses require placement in clinical sites. Students are responsible for selecting an accredited sleep disorder facility prior to admission into the program. Site agreeements between OIT and the accredited facility must be in place for the student to begin these courses. On site preceptors will work in conjunction with OIT faculty to ensure an excellent training experience. CRP and HIPAA certification is also required prior to beginning the clinical courses. Some clinical sites may require background checks.

An Associate of Applied Science degree will be awarded with the completion of the certificate program and an additional 48 hours of general education courses. Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (RPSGT) may be awarded 42 hours of credit for the polysomnography courses and simply complete general education courses for the AAS degree.

Building on the certificate and associate degree programs, credits awarded for the registry, and transfer credits, students may complete the Bachelor Science degree in Allied Health Management.
