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

CME Credit

With the rising costs of CME and boards review courses, as well as ever-increasing mandates from various accrediting bodies, Challenger/Damjanov Linder® becomes more economical every day. Just think-for less than $5.50 per credit, you can earn up to 200 AMA Category 1 CME credit hours! Where can you find a better offer? With Challenger/Damjanov Linder®, you no longer have to fight long lines at airports, stay away 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 your education and peace of mind worth the price of a cup of boutique coffee?
