The overall boards failure rate is 1 in 4. Why? It isn't because physicians don't know their stuff; it's
because the examination covers such impossibly broad topics. It requires knowledge of some relatively obscure
areas where the standard of care is changing.
Test-taking is a science of its own, but Challenger relies on a proven 100-year-old methodology known as programmed
learning to bulletproof you on these tests! Rosetta Stone and Berlitz, for example, use programmed learning to
teach their customers how to master new languages. Through this proven approach, you not only learn but you also
retain what you learn. Even today, the programmed learning method still yields higher cognitive exam scores in
comparison to more fashionable (but less reliable) techniques. Theorists can talk all they want about making test
preparation more fun but, if you want to pass the tests for sure, you'll select Med-Challenger EM.

So how does Med-Challenger EM work so effectively? How does it work so well at preparing you for any kind of
testing event? First, the course contains over 4,800 topically organized, case-based questions and answers
designed to emulate the boards and continuous competency testing. To address the visual aspect of the exam,
the questions are then enhanced by over 3,400 high-resolution images, CT scans, ECGs, and x-rays. Who prepares
and monitors this material? The foremost academic physicians in the country write our questions and answers,
while a team of over 200 leading physicians annually peer-review our content for ongoing currency.
|
Challenger's board simulations offer 200 boards-style questions and answers covering key topics in emergency medicine.
Divided into smaller modules, you can take these tests in between patients or in the comfort of your own home.
With our three board simulations, you'll know what to expect before you walk through the door on exam day.

"I used Med-Challenger in my residency to prepare for the
initial certification test in emergency medicine. One real advantage was
that I was well-prepared for the test format as well as the clinical
content. The Challenger method really works!"
--Edward Small, MD
"After Hurricane Katrina, we ended up being the sole
provider for the city of New Orleans's emergency care. All of our resources
for in-service and training were destroyed, so it was an enormous relief to
learn that Challenger would replace their materials for us free of charge!
This program is such a high-yield study and can really make a difference for
us....Thanks so much again for all that Challenger is doing...."
--David Ulick, MD

"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."
--Sharolyn Rhees Medina, MD, FACEP
"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"I use a variety of medical
software, this is unequivocally the best."
--M. Dallas, MD
"One-third the cost of most board review courses, but more effective."
--Anthony Russo, MD
"I love this program!"
--Mark Harding, MD
"I utilized the Challenger EM program as my primary study aid for the EM
boards. I found the immediate feedback supplied by the
program especially helpful for targeting those areas requiring further
study."
--Kenneth Holbert, MD
"The best EM review available for computer home-based system. Cadillac of
EM."
--Randall A. Howell, MD

Target Audience
Med-Challenger is intended for practitioners of Primary Care or Emergency
Medicine or clinicians otherwise involved in the diagnosis and treatment of
acute or emergent 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 will be better equipped to:
- Confidently manage the broad spectrum of acute and emergent 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.
