Program for PA Training Testimonials

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.

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.
