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.
