Description of CME Course
Blood pressure (BP) measurement is the most commonly performed medical procedure in clinical practice. Studies show that skills and knowledge in this area decay over time. To remain competent, it is important to engage in ongoing training and practice throughout your career. In this module, you will have the opportunity to continue to practice your skills and knowledge in various clinical scenarios. This module should be taken on an as-needed basis throughout your education and career to keep skills fresh and up to date.
