摘要
A core clinical skill medical students need to learn is obtaining an accurate blood pressure (BP) reading. We developed a standardized BP curriculum for first-year medical students. Medical students completed online modules and a hands-on skills session to learn BP skills. Pre- and post-surveys and an observed structured clinical encounter (OSCE) assessed student confidence and ability to accurately measure BP. Student confidence and mean OSCE scores (pre = 2.63, post = 6.51; p < 0.001) improved upon completion of the curriculum. The curriculum was feasible, well received, and improved student's skills for taking an accurate BP.
