Physician Assistant LMS provides PA programs, hospitals, and practice groups with a fast and effective way to educate, enrich, and protect their physician assistants.

If you're faculty at a physician assistant program or a leader at a healthcare practice with physician assistant staff, you know physician assistant knowledge quality is the key to the successful outcomes of your program and your patients.  You also know getting a diverse group of clinicians, sometimes spread out across multiple locations, to uniformly "stay on track and prepared to pass the exam" or "stay informed and maintain certifications on time" can be extremely difficult.  Ideally, you could sit in one chair and schedule out online assessments or push required physician assistant CME activities and the results just come to you. PA students and providers can get targeted remediation automatically and your team can satisfy PA requirements at their convenience.  Indeed, this is what a physician assistant learning management system can do.  And now it's super easy.

We've Made Physician Assistant Learning Management Easy

Typically, when you hear "learning management system" or "LMS," many fear that the time and effort needed to implement a complete "medical education and compliance tracking system" is too daunting.  Up until now, there's not only the LMS set up itself, but the content needs that are required to be set up and housed inside it.  And who is going to keep everything up-to-date and functioning properly?  

Well, now one person can successfully implement an entire suite of content and quality management tools for their physician assistant training and physician assistant staff education needs - thanks to Med-Challenger's PA LMS.

Med-Challenger understands that improving your PA program's outcomes is easier said than done. We have developed a turn-key solution that delivers physician assistant student education curricula along with online learner management tools which allow PA program faculty and administrators to enhance their education curricula, understand and close PA student knowledge gaps, and improve cohort and individual exam performance - all from one screen.

Our platform has been used by physician assistant programs all over the world to achieve higher exam scores and 100% certification and matriculation rates.

  • Identify and close knowledge gaps across PA student cohorts and ensure 100% certification success and on-time matriculation
  • Streamline faculty operations and effectively support the MOC requirements of your physician assistant educators

Much more than a PA Question Bank

It's not uncommon for a physician assistant program director to utilize a selection of online resources to education and drill PA students on the information needed by physician assistant students for prepare oneself for PA certification exams. The problem here is most programs see "online assessment" as a "question bank."  Sure, all good physician assistant question banks cover each major PA exam blueprint, but many don't provide the ability for PA programs to schedule activities or provide targeted remediation to individuals based on their areas of difficulty.

Med-Challenger's PA LMS provides many more tools and benefits than your traditional online Qbank. In fact, many programs are shocked to find out that they can control and assess their students' progress better while saving their own management time. 

What's more, after using Med-Challenger, programs don't fall victim to the natural attrition of program directors over and over.  The system is there to use and can be easily adapted as needed.
