  Challenger/Damjanov Linder®
Comprehensive Reference, Review, and Assessment Resource in Pathology

 
 
  • For nearly 15 years, Challenger has been the leading provider of electronic education for physicians. With this new product Challenger is setting a higher standard for postgraduate education in pathology.

    Damjanov and Linder's Pathology: A Color Atlas is based on the 10th Edition of Anderson's Pathology -- one of the classics of American pathology -- which is generally recognized as the best atlas of anatomic pathology for practicing pathologists. Furthermore, it has been hailed as a must have for all pathologists in training and the most useful atlas for preparing for the boards examination. Now, Challenger has combined our battle-tested, Q-and-A-based training methodology with the power of this leading medical text to create Challenger/Damjanov Linder® -- the gold standard course for review, reference, and competency testing in pathology.

      Fast Navigation in an Interactive Environment
      Navigate from text-only to integrated question-and-answer challenges for quick reference and seamless study! View Pathology's text as a clear, concise reference tool, or jump over to dynamic review coursework with a simple click.



      The Challenger Interactive Viewer (CIV) environment integrates all content and dynamic testing functionality in a clear, point-and-learn, format. The review progression is designed to allow quick navigation while providing a step-by-step structure to enhance learning and retention. Read, view, absorb, and retain material at your own pace.

      Unlike most clinical review software programs, where navigation is hard to find or confusing, navigating through Challenger courses, sections, and topics is a breeze thanks to Challenger's Interactive Viewer (CIV). Quickly jump to your area of interest, topic to sub-topic, in a straightforward outline form.

      The Electronic Textbook Version of Pathology: A Color Atlas
      Find what you need, fast. The CIV is graphically laid out to provide large, on-screen selections for fast, easy navigation. Entry into each content section opens the Interactive Viewer Window where content is displayed. Topics list neatly down one side. Want to switch topics in a section? Just click the topic title in the list. Handy chapter content listings pinpoint areas for fast access.

      A complete Appendix section is one click away, allowing convenient access to all the charts, diagrams, images, and illustrations you'd find in the text. Practice, Review and Assessment tabs line the top of the window for multiple content review options.

      To return to the main table of contents, simply close the window or select the central home button.

      Practice, Review, Assess, and Score!
      The Challenger review process 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. Questions are largely single answer, formatted to emulate boards examination 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, three tabs are displayed. Each tab's content is formatted for a specific function and usage. 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. 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.

      Our review method is so effective we even offer a Boards-Pass guarantee! That's comprehensive content and study with NO RISK!

      Study At Your Own Pace
