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. He began his career practising primary care, but after a handful of years in practice, he followed his own white rabbit into a whole new world called Sleep Medicine.
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.
In addition to patient care and academic endeavours, Dr McCarty has had plenty of experience as a public speaker at regional and national meetings throughout his career.
He retired from the practice of clinical medicine in 2021, to devote his energy to patient education.

This week, we revisited sleep, as we often do. And I do not believe (and I know a lot about sleep), but I don’t think you can talk about it often enough because it’s like tapping a hoop along. You’ve got to keep that hoop going by paying attention to it, being vigilant, and just developing excellent sleeping habits.
