Target Audience
Med-Challenger OBGYN is intended for practictioners of Gynecology and Obstetrics or clinicians otherwise involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute or emergent medical problems related to women's health.

Educational Objectives
The objective of Med-Challenger OBGYN is to provide an interactive review of the knowledge base of primary and emergency care in gynecology and obstetrics. After completing this course, the participating clinician should be better equipped to:

• Confidently manage the broad spectrum of acute and emergent medical problems encountered in the practice of OBGYN 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 OBGYN systems. In particular, the physician will be better equipped to resuscitate seriously ill patients and to diagnose and treat conditions relating to: Primary Care and Preventative Care for Women, Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility and Menopause, General Gynecology, Urogynecology, General Obstetrics, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Surgery, and Pathology.
  
  
• 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.
