A Boards-Pass Guarantee
In medicine, the best tools are versatile, easy-to-use, and
combine the virtues of evidence-based training with
practice-proven learning techniques. Career internists are
faced with an ongoing battery of tests and challenges to their
competency and credentials - from initial boards through
periodic recertification, MOC, and local and state CME
requirements. Med-Challenger IM brings together in one
curriculum all the content, testing material, and remedial
instruction relevant to mastering these performance standards.
Peer-reviewed by recognized experts and carrying all the CME
hours you will need for years to come, Med-Challenger IM is
simply unmatched as a training and exam preparation resource.

examination and observation. Photographs, illustrations, ECGs,
CT scans, x-rays, and Flash animations all add to the
comprehensive nature of any review.

charts, videos, and much more.
Education in Mind: We also encourage our patrons
to make use of the images we supply for private and clinical
educational use. We only ask that you cite Challenger
Corporation's course as your source. Great for faculty
lectures, resident training, and your clinical publications.
