Analysis of the Approach to Sleep Disorders in the First Year Medical Curriculum by Sandra Cecilia Williams Serrano, Oziel Oxier González, Arlan Machado Rojas, Ian Díaz López

“…It is considered that there is a gap in the diagnosis of sleep disorders, which can lead to several cardiovascular, autonomic and metabolic complications, as well as a high number of traffic accidents. For these reasons, we conducted a literature review on the medical curricula C and D and the syllabi of Morphophysiology III and the Nervous, Endocrine and Reproductive Systems course in order to describe the approach to this topic and the possible existence of a hidden curriculum which prevents graduates from mastering the tools to provide proper care to patients suffering from sleep disorders. …”
