The American Medical Association (AMA) has provided funding of up to $20,000 each to five recipients to implement their Student BP Measurement Essentials Modules in their curriculum. The AMA Student BP Measurement program was initially launched in 2021 to improve standardization of blood pressure measurement training across the country. The modules have been updated and further expanded this year based on findings from the 2021 modules and 2021 grant recipients. NSU is the recipient of one of five $20,000 grants during this 2023 cycle, which will be implemented in collaboration with representatives from Florida State University (FSU) and the University of Central Florida (UCF) as a unique multi-institutional and interprofessional effort.
