Your Very Own Image Bank
Full-color, high-resolution imagery has become a hallmark of Challenger programs. This Challenger course contains over a hundred images for visual reference and instructional aid. Each image enlarges to accommodate detailed examination and observation.
In addition to in-line photographs, illustrations, and X-rays, this program provides a complete pathology slide library detailing common and not-so-common pathological presentations of the breast, ovary, cervix, endometrium, myometrium, placenta, vagina and vulva.

Powerful Online Search Engine

Challenger's Internet-based search engine allows you to locate references in seconds. Best of all,
you can launch right into the clinical section you wish to see. With this searchable, standard-of-care
reference, not only will you have immediate access to the latest developments in your specialty, you will
also save time by identifying the specific information you need when you need it.

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. 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 tabs are displayed. Each tab's content is formatted for a specific function and usage. You can toggle from tab to tab as you wish, allowing for a more personalized flow of study.
The "Practice" tab - The test run. Answer each question in a section and receive pop up feedback and remediation. Limited tries keep the session honest. Correct and incorrect indicators appear next to your selected answers. All answers are revealed when all tries are exhausted.
The "Review" tab - The study guide. The Review section presents the questions in the order seen in the Practice section, but with all answers and remediation displayed. Once your review is finished, you may either re-enter the Practice section or proceed to the Assessment.
The "Assessment" - The scored test. One or more assessments will be available for each topic. Questions seen in the Practice view will display in random order. At the end of each assessment, your responses are scored and a detailed breakdown displayed.
The scoring report indicates correct answers and incorrect answers given for each question. These scores, if the required score is met, can be sent to Challenger Corporation for fast CME certificate fulfillment.

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 simple and easy process thanks to the Challenger 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 tabs 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.

Study At Your Own Pace
Keep time requirements under your control. Save features capture 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, so 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.
Quick and Easy CME Fulfillment - For FREE
Obtaining your CME certificates has never been easier. You can request CME credits, in blocks of 10, any time upon completion of whole or partial sections of content. Challenger provides multiple score submission options and simple-to-follow instructions. Just mail or fax your printed scores or submit them directly via your online Challenger account. Your scores and required evaluation form (provided) are processed immediately and at NO COST to you. Challenger works closely with our prestigious institutional sponsors to maintain the most rewarding educational experience possible. For most of our courses, Challenger issues CME certificates on behalf of our sponsors directly from our office, speeding their delivery.

What They're Saying...
|
"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.
It is very exciting to see the new PA version of Challenger material and I would encourage any PA interested in deepening his or her understanding of state-of-the-art medicine to invest in this course."

Target Audience
Med-Challenger OBGYNPA 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 Med-Challenger OBGYNPA 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.
Note: CME available under this program will only be issued to PA customers. Physicians must purchase Med-Challenger OBGYN to qualify for CME credit.
