Challenger EENT/CC
An Adult Core Curriculum Course in Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology 
for Primary Care Physicians


e and CME for specific areas of primary care...
A 2005 study indicated that timeliness of consultation, incomplete differential diagnosis, and lack of follow-up instruction are common deficiencies observed in ophthalmic practice. Similar shortcomings are widespread in office-based EENT presentations. With the increased focus on evidence-based medicine and standard of care, it is more important than ever to ensure your competency in these key areas. With that said—Challenger EENT/CC, the newest edition to our Core Curriculum Series, provides primary and acute care physicians with the information they need on the latest treatments and most current standards of practice in ophthalmology and otolaryngology.
 
State-of-the-Art Standard-of-Care Review
Challenger EENT/CC covers a variety of topics pertinent to the practice of both ophthalmology and otolaryngology, including eye trauma, ocular dryness, vertigo, and sinusitis. This course is the perfect tool for physicians who want to stay up with the EENT standard of care. For example, you can update your advice to patients regarding UV protection, or learn how to better utilize your history and physical examination for assessments and treatments of a variety of conditions.

Challenger EENT/CC provides two cutting-edge clinical lecture-based overviews with over 300 high-resolution slide images, 8 AMA Category 1 CME credits, and 43 interactive questions and answers to reinforce today's key concepts and practices. Each topic, with images, didactic content, and associated questions and answers, is authored by prominent experts from Harvard and Boston University.
 
Practice, Review, Assess, and Score
The Challenger review program 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 preparing for your maintenance of certification or reaffirming your knowledge, our review and testing structure will help serve as a reliable and consistent learning aid.
 
CD-ROM and Online Flexibility
When you purchase any Challenger program, you will receive a CD-ROM and instructional help guide. You will also be automatically set up in our Challenger Online Learning Portal, so you can access your coursework material via the Web from any computer with an Internet connection. Review, study, and take assessments online just as if you were at home. This convenience is crucial, given time constraints shouldered by today's clinical professionals.
 
Quick and Easy CME Fulfillment
Obtaining your CME certificates has never been easier. You can request CME credits, in blocks of 10, any time upon completion of whole or partial sections of content. Challenger provides multiple score submission options and simple-to-follow instructions. Just mail or fax your printed scores or submit them directly via your online Challenger account.
