Med-Challenger for
Pediatricians |
| |
|
|
| |
| |
We
guarantee you'll pass, or your money back... |
|
With every topic neatly arranged, boards-appropriate
test questions for every topic, over 1,400
fully-referenced questions and over 800 images
covering all the essential aspects of pediatrics, Med-Challenger
PEDS is the best and most comprehensive resource of
its type.
Pediatricians face an ever more exacting series of
competency assessments - from initial boards through the
six year certification cycle and ongoing PMCP.
Med-Challenger PEDS is your one-stop career
testing solution! Each special area of learning
and competency—from ECG interpretation and pediatric
radiology to trauma and critical care (21 essential
chapters covering over 120 key topics)—is continually
peer-reviewed and adjusted with one goal in mind: preparing
and protecting you from lack of adequate preparation for
assessments of your knowledge. You must
pass—or we fail!
Our review method is so effective that we confidently
offer a Boards-Pass
Guarantee for the Pediatrics certification and
re-certification exams! That's comprehensive
content and study with NO RISK!

99.8%
Success Rate
Compared
to a 21% failure rate for certification and
recertification... |
|
The overall failure rate remains high.
Why? It isn’t because physicians don’t know their
stuff; it’s because the examination covers such a
broad range of topics. The test assigns 15% of its
content in image interpretations, radiographs, and ECGs.
It includes formulas you haven’t had to look at since
medical school, and also requires knowledge of
relatively obscure areas where the standard of care is
changing.
Test-taking is a science of its own, but Challenger
relies on a proven 100-year-old methodology known as programmed
learning to bullet-proof you on the required
pediatrics exams! The programmed learning method
still yields the highest cognitive exam scores in
comparison to more fashionable (but less reliable)
techniques. Challenger ignores fads and fashions so
that we can GUARANTEE
your success.

A
challenging Q&A course, designed by pediatricians
for pediatricians... |
|
| We recognize that each medical specialty
has its own culture - nuances in practice,
communication, and learning. Med-Challenger
PEDS is built by pediatricians for pediatricians.
Content and concepts are organized the way a practicing
pediatrician would think of them. Cases and key
points specific to primary and emergent pediatric care
as typically seen by a practicing pediatrician are
emphasized.
Topic after topic of interactive, case-based
Question and Answer content are designed to assess
and strengthen your knowledge of clinical concepts in a boards-emulative
format. Up-to-date references and detailed
remedial post-question text provide all the support
you require, whether you are preparing for
recertification or simply seeking a quality reference.
|
| |
Study
at Your Own Pace and
on your own schedule... |
|
Keep time requirements under your control.
Save features capture your scores from wherever
you are in the course. Work in one topic in the morning,
then jump to something completely different in the
afternoon. You're not locked into any enforced content
order, remote schedule, or lecture circuit with
Challenger products, so your valuable review time is
used at your discretion.
|
| |
The
Largest Electronic Image Bank for Pediatric Medicine See
and interact with the images as you study... |
|
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. Where specific features of an image are
salient for instruction, overlays point to items being
illustrated.
|
| |
Three
steps to success on any examination...Practice, Review,
Assess, and Score. |
|
The Challenger review process is elegantly
designed to promote the highest level of retention
possible. Questions are written by clinical experts to
emulate clinical examination standards and to enhance
knowledge of current best practices. Questions are
largely single answer, formatted to emulate boards
examination practices. Whether you are preparing for an
examination or reaffirming your knowledge, our review
and testing structure will help.
Our three step - Practice, Review, Assess - progression
incorporates a proven educational regime called programmed
learning. At the start of each topic chapter, three
tabs are displayed. Each tab's content is formatted for
a specific function and usage. You can toggle from tab
to tab as you wish, allowing for a more personalized
flow of study.
The "Practice"
tab - The test run. Answer each question in a section
and receive pop up feedback and remediation. Limited
tries keep the session honest. Correct and incorrect
indicators appear next to your selected answers. All
answers are revealed when all tries are exhausted.
The "Review"
tab - The study guide. The Review section presents the
questions in the order seen in the Practice section, but
with all answers and remediation
displayed.
Once your review is finished, you may either re-enter
the Practice section or proceed to the Assessment.
The "Assessment"
- The scored test. One or more assessments will be
available for each topic. Questions seen in the Practice
view will display in random order. At the end of each
assessment your responses are scored and a detailed
breakdown displayed.
The scoring
report indicates correct answers and incorrect
answers given for each question. These scores, if the
required score is met, can be sent to Challenger
Corporation for fast CME
certificate fulfillment for an additional fee.
Our review method is so effective we even offer a Boards-Pass
guarantee! That's comprehensive content and study
with NO RISK!

what you need, fast...
Fast Navigation in an Interactive Environment |
|
The Challenger Interactive Viewer (CIV)
environment integrates all content and dynamic testing
functionality in a clear, point-and-learn, format. The
review progression is designed to allow quick navigation
while providing a step-by-step structure to enhance
learning and retention. Read, view, absorb, and retain
material at your own pace.

navigation is hard to find or confusing, navigating
through Challenger courses, sections, and topics is a
breeze thanks to Challenger's Interactive Viewer (CIV).
Quickly jump to your area of interest, topic to
sub-topic, in a straightforward outline form.
Find what you need, fast. The CIV is graphically laid
out to provide large, on-screen selections for fast,
easy navigation. Entry into each content section opens
the Interactive
Viewer Window where content is displayed. Topics
list neatly down one side. Want to switch topics? Just
click the topic title in the list. Practice, Review and
Assessment tabs line the top of the window for multiple
content review options. To return to the main table of

"Seldom have I encountered a product that
revolutionizes the art of preparing for clinical review
exams. Med-Challenger is one of those rare
creations. Easy to use, reliable and rigorous in its
methodology, the course is practical and cost-effective.
If you must make one purchase to secure peace of mind for
certification issues, this should be your choice"
--Albert J. Forrester, MD

"After Hurricane Katrina, we
ended up being the sole provider for the city of New
Orleans's emergency care. All of our resources for
in-service and training were destroyed, so it was an
enormous relief to learn that Challenger would replace their
materials for us free of charge! This program is such a
high-yield study and can really make a difference for
us....Thanks so much again for all that Challenger is
doing...."

"I used the MD Challenger series (I still have the
floppies if you can believe that) when I initially took my
boards in 1994 and it was the only study guide I used. It
was fabulous. I am looking forward to seeing how things have
advanced as I prepare for my recertification boards."
--Sharolyn Rhees Medina, MD
"I used the On-Line Course. I found it very useful and
relevant. I have a fairly busy life, with work, 3 kids, and
a husband who travels, so needless to say the flexibility of
your program was perfect for me. I received my Board Score
this week and passed successfully, and basically the only
program I used was yours and one other Test Booklet."
--Mary Engrav, MD
"I use a variety of medical software, this is
unequivocally the best."
--M. Dallas, MD
"One-third the cost of most live board review courses,
but more effective."
--Anthony Russo, MD
"I love this program!"
--Mark Harding, MD
"I utilized the Challenger Peds program as my primary
study aid for the Pediatric re-certification boards. I found
the immediate feedback supplied by the program especially
helpful for targeting those areas requiring further
study."
--Kenneth Holbert, MD

Target Audience
Med-Challenger Peds is intended for practitioners of Pediatric
Primary Care or Emergency Medicine or clinicians otherwise
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute or emergent
pediatric 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.
