Gaining Certification in Sleep Medicine through the ABP

​An experienced physician and senior health care administrator, Dr. Ramesh Sachdeva most recently served as an attending critical care physician with the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. Among his other licenses and certifications, Dr. Ramesh Sachdeva holds a certificate of added qualifications (CAQ) in sleep medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP).

The ABP collaborates with numerous medical boards to offer the CAQ in sleep medicine. Candidates for this designation must have a valid and unrestricted allopathic or osteopathic medical license in one of the states or territories of the United States or Canada. They must also hold basic ABP certification in general pediatrics or a pediatric subspecialty.

Candidates must complete a year in an accredited sleep medicine fellowship or residency. Finally, physicians must demonstrate their comprehensive sleep medicine knowledge by passing a certifying examination. As long as holders keep current on continuing certification requirements, a CAQ in sleep medicine is valid for 10 years.
