Target Audience
This educational program is directed toward nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Primary care clinicians and other HCPs who treat patients with narcolepsy are also invited to participate.

Program Overview
This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together renowned experts in narcolepsy and sleep disorders. In this educational program, these experts discuss advances in the diagnosis and treatment of narcolepsy. The broad differential diagnosis makes the importance of a good work-up especially important.
