Your Very Own Image Bank
Full-color, high-resolution imagery has become a
hallmark of Challenger programs. This Challenger
course contains over 3,400 images for visual
reference and instructional aid. Each topically
organized image enlarges
to accommodate detailed examination and
observation. Photographs, illustrations, ECGs,
CT scans, x-rays, and Flash animations all add
to the comprehensive nature of any review.

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 reaffirming 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 reenter 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 is 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!

Fast Navigation in an Interactive Environment
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.
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? Just click the topic title in the list. 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

Study At Your Own Pace
Keep time requirements under your control. Save
features capture your scores from wherever you
are in the course. Work in one topic in the
morning, then jump to something completely
different in the afternoon. You're not locked
into any enforced content order, remote
schedule, or lecture circuit with Challenger
products, so your valuable review time is used
at your discretion.
Built-in Flexibility - Two Points of Access
Don't have time to fly to that boards review
course
? Have it come to you. 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 the time constraints shouldered by today's
clinical professionals.
Quick and Easy CME Fulfillment - For FREE
Obtaining your CME certificates has never been
easier. For an additional fee, 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. Your scores and required
evaluation form (provided) are processed
immediately
. Challenger works closely with our prestigious

Target Audience
Med-Challenger FM for Residents is intended for
all practitioners of Primary Care or clinicians
otherwise involved in the diagnosis and treatment
of acute or emergent medical problems.
Educational Objectives
The objective of the Med-Challenger continuing
medical education program is to provide an
interactive review of the knowledge base of acute
care and emergency medicine. After completing this
course, the participating clinician will be better
equipped to:
- confidently manage the broad spectrum of
acute and emergent medical problems
encountered in the practice of primary care
and emergency medicine
- formulate appropriate differential diagnoses
for patients presenting with acute medical
problems of uncertain etiology
- efficiently initiate therapeutic and
diagnostic procedures for patients presenting
with acute medical disorders
- cope effectively with the uncertainty that
is inherent in the initial treatment of acute
and emergent disorders, effectively
stabilizing critical patients while refining
the differential diagnosis
- handle efficiently the spectrum of common
disorders involving all organ systems. In
particular, the physician will be better
equipped to resuscitate seriously ill patients
and to diagnose and treat acute cardiovascular
disorders; diseases of the eye, ear, nose,
throat, skin and soft tissues; endocrinologic
disorders; traumatic and environmental
injuries; gastrointestinal diseases;
gynecologic and obstetric disorders;
hematologic and oncologic problems;
immunologic, allergic and rheumatologic
diseases; infectious diseases;
life-threatening signs and symptoms;
musculoskeletal disorders; pulmonary diseases;
and intoxications and poisonings
- demonstrate mastery of the knowledge and
cognitive skills required to achieve
objectives 1-5 by scoring at least 80% on all
topics studied for CME credit.
