Current medical education improves OSA-related knowledge but not confidence in residents: An underappreciated public health risk

ConclusionDespite adequate knowledge of OSA, there was still a generalized lack of confidence in the management of OSA patients among residents. Current medical education can not build enough confidence for physicians, which may in turn affect patients' trust and reduce long-term compliance. Untreated OSA places a significant health threat and economic burden on not only the patients but also their families and society, causing an underappreciated public health risk. In the future, merely increasing OSA courses is not sufficient, a more specific focus on the course format and training effect is required.
