About This Course
Challenger has combined our battle-tested, Q-and-A-based
training methodology with the power of Damjanov and Linder's
leading medical text to create Challenger/Damjanov Linder®
— the gold standard course for review, reference, and
competency testing in pathology.
Challenger/Damjanov Linder® is designed to meet two real and
pressing requirements for practicing pathologists:
- prepare for and pass the initial certification and
recertification exams in your specialty
- provide a long-term, cost-effective source of continually
updated CME and reference material to ensure your competency
and credibility to your patients, colleagues, and
credentialing bodies

you can earn up to 200 AMA Category 1 CME credit hours! Where
can you find a better offer? With Challenger/Damjanov Linder®,

from home in uncomfortable accommodations, or scramble to find
ways to earn CME at the end of the year. In terms of time saved
alone, how can you afford not to own and use this product? And
if you split the cost of Challenger/Damjanov Linder®
over a year's time, it comes down to just $3.00 a day. Isn't
