Embracing Alternative Practice Models
Dr. Sahil Chopra and Dr. Andy Berkowski, GUESTS
The practice of sleep medicine is extremely diverse. While there are many who are a part of academic institutions, others have chosen private practice. One option that is becoming more popular is a direct-to-consumer, self-pay model. Here to give us a better understanding of some of these practice models are Dr. Sahil Chopra and Dr. Andy Berkowski.
Dr. Sahil Chopra is the CEO and Co-Founder of Empower Sleep. He completed his residency at UCLA and his fellowship at Harvard Medical School. He has also worked as a hospitalist and associate program director for 3 years at Loma Linda University.
Dr. Berkowski is double board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in Adult Neurology and Sleep Medicine. He is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), where he serves as vice chair of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Task Force for the Treatment of RLS to be published in 2024. He is also a member of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLS SG) and serves as a volunteer on the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board of the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation.
