Program Overview
The purpose of this educational activity is to provide advanced training to clinical psychologists, social workers, PhD/NP level nurses and physicians in the practice of CBT-I. This 3-day seminar is only for those that have basic training thru Penn or the VA CBT-I Program (or have permission to attend the course). The workshop is split 2:1 in favor of active learning exercises to lectures. The learning exercises (Day 2 & 3) include e.g., case presentations and role plays. The lectures (Day 1 only) cover several advanced topics including Advanced Models of Insomnia, Actigraphy, Interpreting PSG reports, alternative treatment strategies (e.g., sleep compression, bright light treatment, etc.), med titration, etc. For a prospective itinerary please click here .
The program should position clinicians to more effectively deal with complex issues and cases. This training, along with other CE workshops, supervised practice, a past case load of 10 or more cases, and a reasonable program of self-study (readings and videos) should adequately prepare individuals for the certification exams (e.g. ABPP Specialty in “Sleep Psychology”).

We would like to ask for attendees to consider submitting a case study report for this course.
Why should you do such a crazy thing? Well, if you elect to submit a case (and do so on or before the deadline), we will rebate you $50 following your attendance at the Advanced Course. But wait, there’s more! If you elect not only to submit but also to present the case (and field questions and comments at the course) and submit a Power Point presentation outlining the case on or before the deadline, we will rebate you an additional $50 (total $100) following your attendance at the Advanced Course. Please know that these presentations are meant to be instructive for you and the other attendees. There will be no harsh judgments, tomatoes thrown, etc. These presentations form the core of what the Advanced Course is about and we greatly appreciate the effort expended by attendees who join us as presenters. Finally, as a testament to the value of this component of the course, the majority of last year’s attendees agreed that the case presentations were the highlight of the Advanced Course. So please don’t be bashful. This is not required, but we’d like to have up to 8 attendees submit cases.
The case submission should be:
It’s that simple! If more than 10 cases are submitted, presentations will be selected based upon the date of submission and how that case fits into the teaching mission.
