Empowering Teens with Healthier Sleep is a recorded Stanford Medicine talk, originally given on March 16, 2023 and offered as an on-demand continuing-education activity with a registration fee of FREE. Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education estimates 1 hour 28 minutes to complete it and awards 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for physicians or 1.5 hours of Non-Physician Participation Credit for everyone else, with the accreditation period running to May 5, 2029. Caroline Okorie and Rafael Pelayo discuss teenage sleep: healthy sleep habits, insomnia and delayed sleep-wake phase, the link between sleep problems and mental health concerns, and the consequences of sleep disorders, using case studies to show how sleep can be used to improve adolescent health. The activity is simple in form.
You launch the video, which is hosted on YouTube, then click Claim CME on the Stanford page, attest to your participation, complete the evaluation, and the credit appears on your MY CE transcript immediately, where the certificate can be viewed, printed or emailed. A free Stanford CME account is required. The target audience is paediatrics and sleep medicine, but the professions list includes non-physicians and students. The certificate is a CME participation certificate, not a badge with a public verification link.
