ANNOUNCEMENT
The Committee on Accreditation for Polysomnographic Technology (COAPSG), which is comprised of the Association of Polysomnographic Technologists, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists, describes the mission of COAPSG and polysomnography training programs in general at the
 Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) 
Web site

At this time, there is only one CAAHEP credentialed polysomnography training program in New York State.
It is at SUNY, Upstate Medical University

The lack of Sleep training programs is being addressed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. In 2007 the AASM instituted the A-STEP program (Accredited Sleep Technologist Education Program) as an interim “On the Job” training program, A-STEP helps fill this educational void while credentialed educational facilites prepare and ramp up their sleep/polysomnography offerings. As of this writing, the A-STEP programs listed on the AASM website for New York State have had no offerings.
