Challenger/Creasy Resnik®
Comprehensive Reference, Review and Assessment Resource in Obstetrics and Gynecology


All-in-one clinical medical reference resource, interactive review guide and CME fulfillment solution for Obstetricians, Gynecologists and clinicians involved in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

  • What Is It For?
  • Comprehensive Content
  • High-Resolution Imagery
  • Internet-Based Search Engine
  • Navigation and Environment
  • Interactive Review and Testing
  • Study At Your Own Pace
  • Anywhere Flexibility
  • Fast CME Fulfillment
  • Free Support
  • And Into The Future

    Designed to Address Multiple Needs
    Challenger/Creasy Resnik® contains the complete, 61-chapter, Maternal-Fetal Medicine text in electronic form, integrated with the most recent version of our Med-Challenger OBGYN, the best clinical review and interactive self-assessment tool on the market for obstetricians, gynecologists and clinicians involved in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

    Use of Challenger/Creasy Resnik® can improve and broaden the OB generalist's understanding and knowledge to help them broaden their practice scope and co-management skills. By learning more maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) principles, OBs can get more involved in MFM patients and overall become more skilled obstetricians.

    Conversely, an MFM who mainly just spends time reading and learning about their area of expertise, MFM, will have lost general GYN and other clinical expertise over time. So, with a generalist's review, such as Med-Challenger OBGYN, included, specialists can review a broad spectrum of up-to-date principles in the field from time to time. It's a bridge to a more complete practice.

    Besides being an invaluable reference and review resource for every aspect of maternal-fetal medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology, this product offers up to 320 AMA category 1 CME credits through challenging knowledge assessments! What's more—the new Challenger/Creasy Resnik® includes newly revised sections on genetics and prenatal diagnostic screening as well as new chapters covering a variety of areas in obstetrics and gynecology. All this, on one CD-ROM and/or Internet account.>

    Challenger/Creasy Resnik® provides the resources and functionality you need in one, cost-effective, easy-to-use, go-anywhere package. It's one elegant tool for multiple uses. Get your copy today!

    Whether you are looking for a specific topic, collection of images, or specific phrase, Challenger's Internet-based search engine allows you to locate references in seconds.

    Fast Navigation in an Interactive Environment
    The Challenger Interactive Viewer (CIV) environment integrates all content and dynamic testing functionality in a clear, point-and-learn, format. The review progression is designed to allow quick navigation while providing a step-by-step structure to enhance learning and retention. Read, view, absorb, and retain material at your own pace.

    Unlike most clinical review software programs where navigation is hard to find or confusing, navigating through Challenger courses, sections, and topics is a breeze thanks to Challenger's Interactive Viewer (CIV). Quickly jump to your area of interest, topic to sub-topic, in a straightforward outline form.

    Find what you need, fast. The CIV is graphically laid out to provide large, on-screen selections for fast, easy navigation. Entry into each content section opens the Interactive Viewer Window where content is displayed. Topics list neatly down one side. Want to switch topics? Just click the topic title in the list. Practice, Review and Assessment groups line the top of the window for multiple content review options. To return to the main table of contents, simply close the window or select the central home button.

    Practice, Review, Assess, and Score!
    The Challenger review process is elegantly designed to promote the highest level of retention possible. Questions are written by clinical experts to emulate clinical examination standards and to enhance knowledge of current best practices. Questions appear in various forms - single answer, multiple answer, matching, etc.. Whether you are seeking to acquire continuing medical education credits, preparing for an examination or re-affirming your knowledge, our review and testing structure will help.

    Our three step - Practice, Review, Assess - progression incorporates a proven educational regime called programmed learning. At the start of each topic chapter, three groups are displayed. Each group's content is formatted for a specific function and usage. You can toggle from group to group as you wish, allowing for a more personalized flow of study.

    Study At Your Own Pace
    Keep time requirements under your control. Save your scores from wherever you are in the course. Work in one topic in the morning, then jump to something completely different in the afternoon. You're not locked into any enforced content order, remote schedule, or lecture circuit with Challenger products, so your valuable review time is used at your discretion.

    Built-in Flexibility - Two Points of Access
    Don't have time to drive or fly to that CME seminar? Have it come to you. When you purchase any Challenger program, you will receive a CD-ROM and instructional help guide. You will also be automatically set up in our Challenger Online Learning Portal. That way, you can access your coursework material via the web from any computer with an Internet connection. Review, study and take assessments online just as if you were at home. This convenience is crucial, given time constraints shouldered by today's clinical professionals.

    Target Audience
    Challenger/Creasy Resnik® is intended for practitioners of Gynecology and Obstetrics or clinicians otherwise involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute or emergent medical problems related to women's health.

    Educational Objectives
    The objective of Challenger/Creasy Resnik® is to provide an interactive review of the knowledge base of primary and emergency care in gynecology and obstetrics. After completing this course, the participating clinician should be better equipped to:
    • Confidently manage the broad spectrum of acute and emergent medical problems encountered in the practice of OBGYN 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 OBGYN systems. In particular, the physician will be better equipped to resuscitate seriously ill patients and to diagnose and treat conditions relating to: Primary Care and Preventative Care for Women, Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility and Menopause, General Gynecology, Urogynecology, General Obstetrics, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Surgery, and Pathology.
    • 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.
