"The Challenger Program for PA Training has made a
monumental difference in our class performance scores on the initial pass rate
for PANCE. We went from a 78% pass rate in 2004 to 90% in 2005 and 100% last
year. This puts us in the tops 10% of all programs nationally. Moreover, we have
had several individual student scores that are in the top percentiles
nationally. At first, our students resisted additional "homework." Now they come to us asking for more
Challenger training. The reason is simple; if they study with Challenger, they
pass the test with high scores. I would be happy to discuss our experience with
any Program Director who wants to give me a call."

"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. I would encourage any PA interested in deepening his
or her understanding of state-of-the-art medicine to invest in this course."

"The best products of all are the programs from
Challenger. Computer based learning, many areas of focus, THOUSANDS of images
and questions/explainations. The FMPA (Family Practice PA) and EMPA (Emergency
Medicine PA) titles offer guarantee board pass (or refund)."

"Having now had the chance of using the FMPA software
extensively in preparation for my successful passage through quarterly exams, I
have passed the software to our clinical coordinator with my highly favorable
recommendation."
--Reid C. Bowers, PA-S

"Great pictures, instructional pictures, and instruction
of procedures."

"We use the Challenger curriculum in a number
of ways. We break down the topics and ensure that our students complete portions
of them during each of their clinical rotations as a form of mandatory board
preparation. We feel that using the Challenger electronic format provides
another way for students to prepare for the boards, which are in electronic
format. It (helps) overcome any computer testing phobia that a student might
have. We also like the features of establishing a performance threshold for
students and monitoring student compliance."
