"I love my Challenger program. I have been a fan since I first took my ED boards in 1992. It was a paper 5" binder at that time. I used you again in 2001 for ED boards and then bought the lifetime membership as I studied for my palliative medicine subspecialty boards in 2007. It's almost time to begin to study for ED boards again and I plan to use your LLSA program also. "

"Please pass along to everyone there how much I enjoyed the EM Ultrasound course and how valuable it has been. Since I completed it, I diagnosed a woman with pericarditis and a man with a DVT. It was very useful and I look forward to reviewing it periodically."

Eric Roter, MD
About Med-Challenger EM

"I have used Med-Challenger for over 10 years and 3 boards - Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Addictive Medicine. I have found the program user friendly (I usually have difficulty with computer programs). The format closely resembles the board questions. The pictures are extremely helpful. I have successfully passed all three Boards using Med-Challenger as my primary preparation tool."

I was able to use it at home, at work (in down-time of course!) and on trips via laptop. Very convenient! "

"The question and answer format provides a focused review of subject matter in a time efficient manner."

Allan Kuong, DO
About Challenger Lifetime Subscription

"Concise and focused learning. Cuts to the heart of learning. Cuts to the heart of the knowledge base needed for board certification."

John Goddard, MD
About Challenger Lifetime Subscription

"I think the . . . program is excellent. . . . The format is very intuitive. Overall, given the recent ABEM change to the ConCert examination, I think Challenger is a really great review and actually fun to work through. Often, I will read a journal article and after pages and pages, there is simply very little information transmitted. Challenger seems to offer the best balance of breadth and depth in the question and answer format. "

Gary Gechlik, MD
About Challenger Lifetime Subscription

"The material is practical, with concrete application to practice/patient management. From a learning curve perspective, this course obeys the known principles of effective knowledge acquisition: immediate feedback on answers, repetition of subject matter, etc. As both a physician and Clinical Psychologist, it is obvious to my assessment that an academically sound and sophisticated approach was used in program development. Approaching the course and surveying its content provided confidence and encouragement in facing the exam; the feeling was that covering this material would almost have to ensure passing. Exam day was much less anxiety provoking."

Wayne Hodges, MD, PSY.D., FAAEM
About Med-Challenger FM

"Used question/answer format for board review. I was well pleased, scoring in the 75th precentile 7 years ago and 93rd precentile this year. I would highly recommend for board review"

About Med-Challenger EMPA

"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!"

Gil Solomon, MD Medical Software Reviews
About Principles of Electrocardiography

"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
About Med-Challenger EM

"I have realized for a long time that Challenger software was a gold standard for physician education. In fact, our program at the Southwest Georgia Area Health Education Center has employed Challenger courses for years to educate our primary care physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice nurses. It is very exciting to see the new PA version of Challenger material and I would encourage any PA interested in deepening his or her understanding of state-of-the-art medicine to invest in this course."

"What a great way to earn CME credits without leaving home, or at a vacation destination of my choice. Have laptop, will learn! I'm excited to be able to earn up to 350 hours of Category 1 CME with just this single purchase, which is actually less than I would have paid to go to a 3-day conference away from home."

About Challenger Fundamentals: Preventive Medicine

"I just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my Challenger programs. I now realize that Challenger is far better than I ever knew. I work on my Challenger programs whenever I have time. My job is not that demanding and I get in many hours every week. I am doing the FM '06 program at the present time. The way materials are presented is superior to other methods. In the past I read basic texts such as Tintinalli, Rivers, etc. With Challenger I like my studying and actually find more enjoyment in it. The amount of material that is covered is amazing. Please know that you have a very superior product. A good example is the FM program. I just did the chest radiology section and picked up info that I thought was very good and that I had not encountered in other study modes. My ABEM boards are current but I have decided to take the FP boards and recertify. I did FP four times '79,'85,'92,'99 but let it expire in '06. With Challenger I actually have fun studying. Thanks for your help."
