Sharing Knowledge

This week I had another opportunity to speak to the EEG class at Carnegie Institute. Because what they do and what I do are very similar, they have me come in and do two presentations about sleep medicine. The first week is an intro to Polysomnography and the second week is about the various sleep disorders.

I have been lucky enough to do this for about 4 or 5 years now. The class size various from large to small. The largest class I presented to was about 20 people. This time around I presented to the smallest class – 4 people.

You would think that the bigger the class, the more interaction and questions you’d receive. Apparently, that’s not true. This small group of 4 people were very interactive. They had many questions, they spoke of people they know with sleep issues, and were genuinely engaged and interested in the presentation. That made this week so much fun for me.

What’s funny is that this presentation is the basic boring one. Next week, I present on the various sleep disorders with videos and flat out crazy stories. I’m sure that it will be more fun than this week’s class. I’m looking forward to it!
