ABOUT OSA UNIVERSITY
OSA University is an online center of education for dental sleep medicine team professionals. The OSA-U concept originated through the identification of the overwhelming obstacles that dentists face during dental sleep medicine implementation. One of the primary obstacles was the lack of support by their staffs. Specifically, three areas were identified as the largest staff challenges: education, motivation and continued support/inspiration. Those three areas became the pillars of OSA University.
