Sleep Technician count as research experience or just PE?

[suupremed]

Anyone have any insight on this?

As a sleep tech we gather data while the patient is sleeping and test the hypothesis that the patient might have sleep apnea.

We also perform titration studies to see if treatment will work for the patient and at what setting.

Will a school see this as research experience?

Thank you!

You're running tests on a human person to see if they have a medical condition. Sounds clinical to me. Are you actually doing research, or just running tests for sleep apnea? As you described it here, it doesn't seem like research experience.

that's diagnostic testing rather than resesrch, still valuable experience I'd say, but not resesrch.
