Dr. Lynn Keenan is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco Fresno, and the Program Director of the Sleep Medicine Fellowship. She is board-certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine. Her research focuses on the impact of sleep disorders on fertility and pregnancy, as well as physician fatigue.
