Summary
I have worked in healthcare for 19 years. The first 14 years I worked full time for MMCI in Peoria, Illinois. The last 7years of my employment I worked fulltime for the Dwaine C. Morgan Sleep Center. After 18 months of on the job training I received my BRPT certification. After 7 years I began work at OSF sleep lab where I worked fulltime for 5 years. OSF has an amazing learning environment. While working there I increased my knowledge of sleep vastly. I learned more about PSGs, CPAP, ASV, AVAPS, Bilevel and had limited exposure to Trilogy. I have experience in infant and small children PSG, CPAP and oxygen therapy.
