盲法说明
A faculty member without knowledge of the intervention and outcomes will randomize all subjects into 2 separate groups using random generated numbers from a computer software program:
- Control Group - Group "B" - Will not receive the CAL module training for the first retest session (T1), but will for T2.
- Experimental Group - Group "A" will complete the CAL module ahead of the first retest date (T1), but not for T2.
Allocation of subjects to each group will be concealed in envelopes so that no other researcher knows who was assigned to a particular group (allocation concealment). The faculty member who performs the randomization and allocation will be the only researcher with knowledge of group allocation. This individual will open the envelopes and send the corresponding CAL module training link at the time points designated above. This faculty member is not involved in the class and has no knowledge of the outcomes or training provided.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group A
This is the initial experimental group who will be exposed to the CAL module 48 hours before the first retesting period 2 months out from initial baseline measurement.
干预措施: Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) Module (Other)
Group B
This is the initial control group who will not be exposed to the CAL module 48 hours before the first retesting period 2 months out from initial baseline measurement.
结局指标
主要结局
Blood pressure measurement knowledge quiz
时间窗: Baseline to 4 months
A knowledge quiz regarding the proper steps of blood pressure measurement as defined by the American Heart Association. This is a 15 question multiple choice quiz. The higher the score, the better the performance.
Accuracy of blood pressure measurements
时间窗: Baseline to 4 months
Pre-programmed manikin arms will be set to different blood pressure values. Students must correctly identify each of the pre-set blood pressure measurements
Confidence of blood pressure measurements
时间窗: Baseline to 4 months
A 5-point Likert scale survey to assess student confidence in different aspects of measuring blood pressure. The scale ranges from 1 to 5 with the following values: 1 - Not confident at all, 2 - Slightly confident, 3 - Moderately confident, 4 - Very confident, and 5 - extremely confident. A higher score indicates that the individual has higher levels of confidence for the reported item.
