"I passed my boards!...I think that the program helped focus me for the test so my study times
was productive. The question format was extremely good practice as well. The program also helped me
prioritize my studies which was a huge benefit! I recommended the program to two of my colleagues
here...and my ex-partner...The CME I earned was a nice bonus."
— Michael Dick, MD

Compared to a one in four failure rate for the specialty...
|
 |
The overall failure rate remains high.
Why? It isn't because physicians don't know their
stuff; it's because the examination covers such a
broad range of topics. The test assigns 10% of its
content in image interpretations, radiographs, and
ECGs. It includes formulas you haven't had to look
at since medical school, and also requires
knowledge of 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 bullet-proof you on
the required pediatrics exams! The programmed
learning method still yields the highest cognitive
exam scores in comparison to more fashionable (but
less reliable) techniques. Challenger ignores
fads and fashions so that we can GUARANTEE your
success.

Running short on time? Getting ready for an exam? Med-Challenger
PEDS includes topical pretests to help narrow your focus by testing your baseline
knowledge. Spend less time focusing on topics you are familiar with and more time
in areas of weakness.

every day. Just think—you can earn over 170
AMA Category 1 CME credits (75 of which qualify
for AAP credits) for free! Where can you find

airports, stay away from home in uncomfortable
accommodations, and scramble to find ways to earn
CME at the end of the year. In terms of time
saved alone, how can you afford not to own and use
this
product?

A challenging Q&A course,
designed by pediatricians for
pediatricians...
|
|
| We recognize that each medical
specialty has its own culture - nuances in
practice, communication, and learning.
Med-Challenger PEDS is built by
pediatricians for pediatricians. Content and
concepts are organized the way a practicing
pediatrician would think of them. Cases and
key points specific to primary and emergent
pediatric care as typically seen by a practicing
pediatrician are emphasized.
Topic after topic of interactive, case-based
Question and Answer content are designed to
assess and strengthen your knowledge of clinical
concepts in a boards-emulative
format. Up-to-date references and
detailed remedial post-question text provide
all the support you require, whether you are
preparing for recertification or simply seeking a
quality
reference.
|
|
And on your own
schedule... |
|
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.

Full-color,
high-resolution imagery has always been one of the
hallmarks of Challenger programs. Every image is
assigned to the appropriate standard-of-care
topic, and most can be enlarged for detailed
examination and observation. Where specific
features of an image are salient for instruction,
overlays point to items being
illustrated.

Three steps to success on any
examination...
|
|
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 are largely single answer,
formatted to emulate boards examination practices.
Whether you are preparing for an examination or
reaffirming 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.
Our
review method is so effective we even offer a Boards-Pass
guarantee! That's comprehensive content and
study with NO
RISK!

designed to allow quick navigation while providing
a step-by-step structure to enhance learning and

(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

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.

"I passed my Pediatric Boards recertification exam! Thank you. Thank you."
--Althea Stresino, 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...."

"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
"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 live
board review courses, but more
effective."
--Anthony Russo,
MD
"I love this program!"
--Mark
Harding, MD
"I utilized the Challenger
Peds program as my primary study aid for the
Pediatric re-certification boards. I found the
immediate feedback supplied by the program
especially helpful for targeting those areas
requiring further study."
