During medical school Catherine worked with patients at Virginia Mason Medical Center, conducting overnight testing, called PSGs.   She also worked on research regarding the sleep attitudes of those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.   Catherine was pleased to present that work at the Sleep meeting in 1998.
