Faculty at the University of Miami (UM) Miller School of Medicine and Miami VA Healthcare System joined together to make a special $1,600 donation to honor three fellows that recently completed their year-long sleep medicine fellowship training program.
“I would like to say thank you to the sleep fellowship faculty at the UM and VA for such a generous and thoughtful graduation gift supporting the wonderful world of sleep through the AASM Foundation. The sleep medicine attending physicians I trained with demonstrated by example how to be an influence in the sleep community by active involvement with healthcare societies such as the AASM. After graduating, I am so happy to follow their lead by becoming an active participant in the sleep community and a supporter of the AASM Foundation.” – Kori Ascher, DO
