Content Updates: January 2021
Med-Challenger Content Updates include 2021 Board Review, New CME Courses, and Free Board Review Question BanksMed-Challenger has introduced all new 2021 board review courses and several new CME courses for physicians, nurses, PA's and more. These new 2021 CME content updates include fast-changing medical topics, new maintenance of certification processes, and other hard-to-find CME course topics.
One of the best aspects of having a Med-Challenger online medical education account is the ongoing content quality and career convenience our products and services provide to physicians, nurses, PAs and students - not for just one, pressing exam - but for all the ongoing CME requirements clinicians need to satisfy every year of their careers. With Med-Challenger, clinicians save time, money, and stress every year regarding your personal MOC and CME requirements by never having to find or re-buy courses or resources over and over. Here's a quick rundown of recent highlights.
New COVID-19 Information and Treatment Guidelines
Med-Challenger has been producing COVID-19 CME content since the virus first appeared.
Recent COVID-19 continuing education information includes:
- Management of COVID-19
- COVID-19 in Pregnancy
- COVID-19 Vaccinations (*latest addition)
*COVID-19 Vaccinations covers the following:
- Identify the immune response to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and compare it to the immune response of the other 4 most common vaccine models.
- Explain the fate of the mRNA after an mRNA vaccine is injected into a host.
- Discuss responses to the fears around the fact that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines deliver genetic material into a person’s cells and uses the cell’s machinery to manufacture viral antigenic protein.
- State the most important talking points suggested by the CDC for educating various audiences about the novel mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
- Describe the administration protocol for mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
- Explain the interchangeability of the various COVID-19 vaccines and the co-administration of a COVID-19 and other vaccines (e.g. the flu vaccine).
- Discuss vaccination of persons with documented prior COVID-19 infection.
- Review the special COVID-19 vaccination rules for 2 specific subgroups (asymptomatic people currently in quarantine after a known exposure and people who recently received a passive antibody infusion for active COVID-19 illness) in various settings (community setting and long-term care/homeless/correctional facilities).
- State the CDC’s Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for immunocompromised patients, those with pre-existing conditions, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women.
- Discuss various aspects of post-vaccination logistics, such as routine post-vaccination antipyretic and analgesic prophylaxis, patient observation, onset of immunity, and later interpretation of SARS-CoV-2 tests in vaccinated individuals.
All of the these topics are now inside Med-Challenger FM, IM, EM, FNP, ENP, PA, and Urgent Care.
We are currently working on an expanded COVID-19 CME course. Stay tuned.
