Gina Merritt, a doctor in Middletown, Connecticut, has a vast array of contacts that she largely attributes to her membership with various professional and medical organizations and groups. While Merritt has connections with the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Thoracic Society, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, there’s one group that is especially significant to Gina Merritt, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Gina Merritt is a proud member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for many reasons. As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Merritt is highly trained with a detailed hands-on knowledge of the body. As she regularly treats people with a focus on the musculoskeletal system, Gina Merritt is able to see the physical damage done to the body because of a lack of sleep.
Many of Merritt’s patients think that sleep deprivation and other sleep issues only affect their mental alertness and general feeling of well being. While Gina Merritt tells these patients that they’re right in that sleep deprivation affects them in these ways, there are many other dangerous ways in which sleep deprivation can work.
As studies continue and develop in their specificity and complexity, Gina Merritt and others in her profession are seeing more and more the damaging results of sleep deprivation. From internal organ failure to psychotic-related issues, sleep deprivation is getting more attention than ever before. As this area of research continues to build and become more pressing in importance, Gina Merritt is proud to have the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as a resource.
As a member, Gina Merritt enjoys several benefits, including a subscription to Critical Care Medicine, a subscription to Critical Connections, professional resources, the benefits of SCCM advocacy efforts, networking opportunities with her local chapter, award and grant opportunities, the chance to join SCCM’s Creative Community, access to eCommunities, and discounts.
