Schedule "Accurate Blood Pressure Measurement" training for your practice

Although blood pressure is measured frequently, studies have shown there is good reason to doubt the accuracy of the readings. Errors in blood pressure measurement greatly increase costs and preventable deaths. Onsite training in accurate blood measurement is available at no cost.

Your training session will include:

  • Current guidelines review
  • Hands-on practice in accurate blood pressure measurement
  • Continuing education credits
    • MA’s receive CEU’s registered with the AAMA (American Assoc. of MA’s)
    • Physicians are eligible for 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits and all participants receive a certificate of attendance with 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits

Training sessions can be customized for your practice.
