General medicine and sleep medicine are two emerging clinical disciplines in China. They have many common things with complementarity in their own developments, and some crossovers in academic development of disciplines and talent training. The China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment has opened up a way for general practitioners to engage in sleep medicine, which may be a basis and a necessity for sound cooperative development of general medicine and sleep medicine. We analyzed the basis and necessity of the cooperative development of general medicine and sleep medicine, introduced relevant experiences of Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital in the co-construction of general medicine and sleep medicine, and invited relevant experts to discuss the current issues.
