Large, High Resolution Image Bank

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. Labels on imagery, diagrams, and ultrasound videos can be switched on and off for quick reference and self-testing.

Focused Remediation: Topic-specific learning modules provide media-rich information and practice-review-test workflow.

Tailored Content: We deliver complete and accurate state-of-the-art clinical information. You can reduce your risk and remain current in your career with our cutting-edge new material covering key topics that fit your specialty.

Automatic Content Updates and Enhancements


Accurate Information, Updated Continuously: Challenger prides itself on staying up-to-date in all aspects of medicine. All our courses are routinely peer-reviewed and continuously updated. Our content review cycle is aggressive, allowing us to keep our content ahead of that found in textbooks.

Upgrade Savings: Future upgrades are provided to Challenger clients at a fraction of the standard retail cost. This way, as the face of medicine changes, our valued customers can cost-effectively keep their coursework and reference library current. Of course, the best value Challenger offers is the Challenger Lifetime Subscription (CLS) — all products and upgrades for a one-time enrollment fee.

Media-Richness: Clinical Images, Charts, and More


Visual Assets: Image-richness has always been one of the hallmarks of Challenger programs and all courses are designed to deliver "after-study" value by allowing easy access to the imagery and other support media found in Q&A coursework. Our comprehensive courses, not to mention our gold-standard integrated textbooks, come packed with thousands of high-resolution clinical photographs, radiographs, diagnostic illustrations and 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.
