Target Audience
Med-Challenger is intended for practitioners of Primary
Care or Emergency Medicine 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 for Emergency Physicians to qualify for CME
credit. |
