Med-Challenger PEDSPA
Comprehensive Review and Assessment for Pediatric Physician Assistants

Complete Review in Pediatrics
Review and Assessment for Pediatric Physician Assistants...
According to AAPA estimates, there were more than 11.5 million patient visits to PAs in pediatric and pediatric subspecialties in 2006. These estimates do not even cover the PAs in various other specialties seeing pediatric patients daily. As the number of pediatric cases that each PA sees continue to increase, it becomes increasingly imperative that you remain abreast of the changes in the pediatric specialty. That's where Med-Challenger PEDSPA, our gold standard review and reference resource, comes in…

Our course, created by Allison McBride, MD, at Wake Forest University, prepares any physician assistant in the field of pediatrics for all aspects of this stressful and complex profession. The curriculum combines 800 high-resolution images and 1,400 evidence-based Questions and Answers (Q&A) with focused pedagogical review material. Med-Challenger PEDSPA is the ideal learning platform for the busy, practicing physician assistant.

Med-Challenger PEDSPA includes cutting-edge content on wound management, neurological disorders, and resuscitation, as well as a variety of infectious diseases. Separate modules address the emergent aspects of pediatrics including new Q & A on dermatology and psychosocial problems.

Target Audience
Med-Challenger PedsPA is intended for physician assistants of Pediatric Primary Care or Emergency Medicine or clinicians otherwise involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute or emergent pediatric 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:

  • 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.
