Group 1 will include first year Physical Therapy students who will be trained for Blood Pressure (BP) measurement using a brief powerpoint lecture, completion of an interactive BP measurement module from the American Medical Association which includes a quiz assessment and certificate of completion, and a competency examination during the lab portion of class.

Group 2 consists of second year PT students who only had a powerpoint lecture on Blood Pressure measurement that was done virtually with no lab component or American Medical Association interactive module training.

The students assigned to Group 1 will undergo interactive module training by the American Medical Association which outlines how to properly measure blood pressure manually following the American Heart Association guidelines. Following completion of the module, students will be presented with a powerpoint lecture by the Primary Investigator on Blood Pressure. Students will then undergo a competency examination that assesses their ability to measure blood pressure following the guidelines of the American Heart Association.

This form was developed by the Primary Investigator to objectively measure a student's ability to take a manual blood pressure reading following the established guidelines of the American Heart Association.

A survey will be provided for students to complete prior to measuring blood pressure in the clinic. The components of the survey will assess: basic information related to confidence in blood pressure measurements, prior training (before entering the Doctor of Physical Therapy program), and identification of overall strengths and weaknesses when conducting blood pressure measurements.

A basic medical history form that identifies the patient's: past medical history, surgical history, and current medication use.
