About This Course

Challenger Fundamentals: High Risk Medicine, a state-of-the-art antidote to misdiagnosis and litigation risk, is a series of courses designed to address each aspect of high risk care, management, and risk prevention. Employing our proven programmed learning methodology and the expert advice of our prestigious Physician Advisory Board, Challenger Fundamentals: High Risk Medicine will increase your confidence, challenge your cognitive knowledge of difficult cases, and assign a "Risk Rating" against the standard of care.

Challenger Fundamentals: High Risk Medicine presents unique case-study-oriented presentations on high risk care. In-depth "key point" articles focus on the most treacherous diagnostic situations in acute and primary care, so as to help practicing physicians strengthen their knowledge base, sharpen diagnostic skills, recognize and head-off potentially life-threatening conditions, and better avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. And the series does so at a cost of less than $20 per credit hour!

Each case contains high-resolution imagery, didactic content, and associated questions and answers, and all the content is peer-reviewed by prominent experts from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Each case features an up-to-date clinical overview of a high-risk topic, including presentations, differentials, and treatments. This overview is followed by a comprehensive investigation of the most common diagnostic pitfalls related to care.

Large, High Resolution Image Bank

Full-color, high-resolution imagery has always been one of the hallmarks of Challenger programs.

Every image is assigned to the appropriate standard-of-care topic, and most can be enlarged for detailed examination and observation. Labels on imagery, diagrams, and ultrasound videos can be switched on and off for quick reference and self-testing.
