25% of Office Visits Are Related to Skin Disorders |
 |
The coverage you need... |
 |
Primary Care and Emergency Medicine physicians are the patient's gateway for dermatologic diseases. Studies have found that up to 25% of all office and
hospital visits are related to skin disorders. This fact alone explains why 15% or more of the boards involve image interpretation.
You need a dermatology reference which provides you with the quality review you need, especially since a majority of physicians say that residency training in dermatology is either inadequate or "only enough to get by." The
paradox of dermatology is that generally easy access for visual inspection is rarely an aid to the undertrained eye.
What you need is a comprehensive image reference that is of the highest quality, one that provides many different presentations of the same or similar diseases.

Visual Examination Trumps Biopsy in Detection of Skin Cancers! |
|
|
Save time, money, and patient discomfort...
|
|
Only one in a hundred biopsies performed results in the detection of a melanoma. And, "that's if dermatologists are trained to know what they are looking for," according to board certified and residency trained dermatologist Harold S. Rabinowitz, MD, who currently serves as Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of Miami.
It turns out that visual identification of cancerous skin growths can dramatically reduce the number of needless excisions that physicians perform. Having a training program would save you and your patients time and money, while avoiding needless patient pain and discomfort.
That's why Challenger Corporation is proud to be the producer of Derm-Challenger, the best program of its type available for the very purpose of visual diagnosis of skin disorders.

Derm-Challenger Holds the Key to Quality Image Review |
|
|
With features you won't find anywhere else...
|
|
Derm-Challenger begins with an examination of the structure and function of the skin, then builds on that base to discuss and illustrate, with over 600 high-resolution case-study images, the anatomic and
physiologic alterations that occur in skin diseases. Using Derm-Challenger, you'll be exposed to over 250 challenging questions and answers and 100 case studies that deal with over 80 common dermatologic problems. And as you increase your knowledge and sharpen your diagnostic acumen, you'll
earn up to 57.5 AMA Category 1 CME credits. Derm-Challenger is simply the best dermatology reference for primary care and emergency room physicians. In addition to a case-based study guide for major skin disorders, you also receive:
- 57.5 AMA Category 1 CME credits
- well-designed case studies of primary and acute care presentations
- a pre-test to test proficiency
All of this adds up to an incredible value, not available in any printed reference text.

Look More Closely at What Interests You |
|
|
An extraordinary reference...
|
|
Derm-Challenger offers full-color image galleries with over 600 high-resolution images. These "zoomable images" allow you to look
closely at features of the presentation that are of interest to you. They also can be clipped and inserted in other documents or saved for later use.
Ranging from basic identification of lesion types and dermatologic terminology to complex differentiation (for example, amelanotic melanoma, malignant melanoma, dysplastic nevus and melanoma, and regressive malignant melanoma),
Derm-Challenger presents you with challenging case studies.
The cases are geared towards presentations that a primary care or emergency medicine doctor will see in
a hospital or office environment. Insect bites, drug reactions, HIV and STD complications, pediatric presentations of skin disorders where the presentation is typically differentiated from adult presentations;
Derm-Challenger has it all.
