99.8%
Success Rate
Compared
to a mediocre 79% pass
rate for certification
and recertification... |
|
The
overall failure rate
for certification
candidates remains
surprisingly high.
Why? It isn't because
physician assistants
don't know their
stuff; it's because
the examination covers
such a broad range of
topics.
It includes formulas
you haven't had to
look at since college,
and also requires
knowledge of
relatively obscure
areas where the
standard of care is
changing. On top of
these factors, the
busy practicing
physician assistant
now must become
comfortable with the
entirely new standards
of EBM. Here's where
Challenger can help
you out!
Test-taking is a
science of its own,
but Challenger relies
on a proven
100-year-old
methodology known as programmed
learning to
bulletproof you on the
required proficiency
exams! Programmed
learning still yields
the highest cognitive
exam scores in
comparison to more
fashionable (but less
reliable) techniques.
Challenger ignores
fads and fashions so
that we can GUARANTEE
your success.

Target Audience
Med-Challenger is intended for 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
Note: CME available under this program will
only be issued to PA customers. Physicians must
purchase Med-Challenger FM to qualify for CME credit.
