Challenger 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
High Risk Medicine will increase
your confidence, challenge your
cognitive knowledge of difficult cases,
and assign a "Risk Rating"
against the standard of care. That's
right, our course will both teach you
and assess your potential for adverse
outcomes for these salient point-of-care
encounters.
Challenger 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!
The name for an unprepared physician in
the high risk environment is
"defendant". We'll help you
avoid that label. Challenger High
Risk Medicine brings you intriguing
case narratives where subtle mistakes
lead to potentially disastrous patient
outcomes and high dollar losses. Case
discussions point out where clinical
scenarios go wrong and what information
and safeguards a physician should be
able to immediately access in similar
situations. Key point "pearls"
are found throughout the course for
correct diagnosis, recommended
management, and avoidance of possible
litigation.
