Target
Audience:
Med-Challenger is intended for Internists and
other practitioners of Primary Care or clinicians otherwise
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute, emergent, or
chronic 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 should be better equipped to:
- confidently manage the broad spectrum of acute, emergent
and chronic 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
