A study of the long-range effectiveness of teaching blood pressure screening in a dental college.
The University of Tennessee College of Dentistry has been actively involved in teaching the fundamentals of blood pressure screening since 1964. To determine the effectiveness of this instruction a sample of practitioners who have graduated since 1964 was surveyed to determine the degree to which they use blood pressure screening in their practices.
