Back to Top Practice, Review, Assess, and Score! The Challenger learning methodology is elegantly designed to promote the highest level of retention possible. Questions are written by clinical experts to emulate clinical examination standards and to enhance knowledge of current best practices. Whether you are seeking to acquire continuing medical education credits, preparing for an examination or re-affirming your knowledge, our review and testing structure will help. Our three step - Practice, Review, Assess - progression incorporates a proven educational regime called programmed learning. At the start of each topic chapter of the interactive CME quiz, three tabs are displayed. Each tab's content is formatted for a specific function and use. You can toggle from tab to tab as you wish, allowing for a more personalized flow of study. The "Practice" tab - The test run. Answer each question in a section and receive pop up feedback and remediation. Limited tries keep the session honest. Correct and incorrect indicators appear next to your selected answers. All answers are revealed when all tries are exhausted. The "Review" tab - The study guide. The Review section presents the questions in the order seen in the Practice section, but with all answers and remediation displayed. Terminology in this section is linked to definitions from Dorland's Medical Dictionary. Once your review is finished, you may either re-enter the Practice section or proceed to the Assessment. The "Assessment" - The scored test. One or more assessments will be available for each topic. Questions seen in the Practice view will display in random order. At the end of each assessment your responses are scored and a detailed breakdown displayed. The scoring report indicates correct answers and incorrect answers given for each question. These scores, if the required score is met, can be sent to Challenger Corporation for fast CME certificate fulfillment.
