Dr Dave McCarty: Why You Need an Empowered Approach to Sleep and Insomnia

David E McCarty MD FAASM attended medical school at Duke University, and completed an internship and residency in Internal Medicine in Boston, at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr McCarty learned the art from the great Dr Andrew Chesson (world-class physician, and past president of the AASM). While at LSU, Dr McCarty won some teaching awards, published a few papers, and it’s also where he developed the Five Finger Approach, which has remained the cornerstone of his teaching about patient-centred problem-solving, to this day, and is featured as the pinnacle for orienteering around the Isle.
