Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Pre-Med: Hello. Sleep specialists come from a variety of backgrounds. Sleep specialists are often pulmonologists, otolaryngologists and neurologists. If you are undergraduate - then meet with your academic counselor to discuss a pre-med career path. Good luck.
