Dr. Mandeep Singh is an early-career clinician-scientist, uniquely dual-certified in Sleep Medicine and Anesthesiology, having completed the training from University of Toronto (UT) and practices in both the disciplines. He also completed a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Sciences Research from the Institute of Health and Policy Management and Evaluation, UT. He is Director of the inaugural Sleep, Anesthesiology and Pain medicine (SleAP) program at Women's College Hospital, and University Health Network, UT.
He is the recipient of prestigious Canadian Anesthesiologists Society Career Scientist Award, Merit Award program at University of Toronto, and recently, the 2020 SASM Presidential Scholar Award. His current translational research interests include evaluating perioperative outcomes in patients with sleep health disruption, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), chronic insomnia and disorders of daytime hypersomnolence such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.
This week, Dr. Singh will present a lecture titled “The Sleep–Pain Interface: From Neurobiology to Clinical Practice, Insights from the SleAP Program”. Following this talk, attendees will be able to:
Explain the neurobiological mechanisms linking sleep disturbances and pain, and their implication for pain modulation
Identify and assess common sleep disorders in patients with chronic pain using a structured, clinically relevant approach
Apply evidence-based strategies to optimize sleep in chronic pain, using a multidisciplinary framework informed by the SleAP program
