American Medical Association (AMA) Collaboration

Enhancing Healthcare Training Education with Proper Blood Pressure Measurement Training

At MedCerts, we’re committed to providing healthcare professionals with the best possible training to improve patient care and outcomes. That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with the American Medical Association (AMA) to integrate their Student BP Measurement Series into many of our allied health programs. Accurate blood pressure measurement is a critical skill in healthcare, and this initiative strengthens our students’ ability to measure blood pressure effectively.
