Dear Dr. Swartz and Ms. Lank,
I’m so sorry I didn’t email you as soon as I received my results…but I PASSED!!!!! It took me a day to fully realize that I am now licensed for the Clinical Skills portion of Step 2…thanks to GOD and thanks to YOU BOTH!
I don’t think you realize the impact you both have on the lives of individuals like me…after failing, you lose hope, you lose focus and you lose faith in yourself. However, having met you both and becoming a part of the “C3NY” family, my confidence grew, hour by hour, literally, while sitting in your class.
You made the impossible seem possible. This exam is definitely no joke, as many people seem to think “memorize the FA, and you’re done”. I memorized the FA, i wasn’t done. I didn’t realize that the USMLE actually is concerned with whether we students have the ability to BE COMPASSIONATE, CONCERNED AND CARING! WHO KNEW?! I didn’t. First Aid doesn’t mention that.
Your techniques are fantastic. Ms. Lank, your “coffeetalk” advice DID SO MUCH FOR ME. I swear there were times when I just felt like fainting. I got that “BLANK STARE” from EVERYONE OF MY PATIENTS. If it wasn’t for your voice in my head, I wouldn’t have seen past it. I kept hearing, “SMILE, TALK, ASK, NOD, SMILE, SMILE, CARE.”
I sincerely Thank You both from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for teaching me there’s more to medicine than getting “the history”. You guys made my dream come true….I couldn’t have done it without you.
GOD’s Blessings Be Upon You Always. You complete the M.D. Degree.
Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and devotion. I love you guys!!!!
Dr. Swartz’s C3NY Step 2 CS preparatory course was nothing less than fantastic!
By the time I took my actual exam, I felt so prepared and ready that I actually enjoyed myself throughout the entire 9 hours. Not only did I learn how to ace the exam, I also learned a lot about medicine and filled in a lot of gaps for myself in terms of patient interviewing.
Dr. Swartz’s acumen and support are unparalleled. I passed the exam on my first attempt!
I highly recommend this course to anyone taking the CS exam.
Hello Dr. Swartz and C3NY Team,
My name is Jigar Patel. I took a coaching at your workshop from 13-14-15 June 2011. I would like to tell you that today I got my step 2CS result and I am pass!
It was very beneficial to your coaching for my result.
I would like to say “THANK YOU”.
Dear Dr.Swartz and Mizz Lank,
I have attended your workshop in the month of June, and I’m happy to inform you that I have passed the exam. I firmly believe that your workshop played a pivotal role in my success.
Actually I lost my exam in Communcation Skills the last time I gave it. So, I decided to enroll in your course which has got some great reviews on the internet. You guys were so informative about the exam that I knew my mistakes and this time I corrected them. I think that your workshop along with Dr. Swartz’s book for Step 2 CS is enough for any IMG who is not fully aware of the American way of interacting with the patients, to get through the exam.
Dr.Swartz provided information about what a physician should do and Mizz Lank gave the information from the patient’s perspective and this combination of you two guys make this workshop so unique. The techniques like “breathing exercise” and the concepts like “acknowledge the elephant in the room” will be helpful for the rest of my life. These things also helped a lot in my exam.
The beauty of this workshop is the direct interaction with the standardized patients who gave good feedback about our performance. Adding to it we can also get a good study partner with whom we can prepare without any conflicts in our thought process which might happen if we practice with an unknown study partner on the internet.
Thank you once again for all the help, as passing this exam was very crucial for me. Hope you guys carry out the good work and keep on helping many budding doctors. I really had a nice time at your workshop and it I am glad that I attended it.
May God bless C3NY!
Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna,
I am feeling excited to tell you that I just got my result of step 2 cs yesterday, and I passed it!! I took it on 14th June in Los Angeles, and I was enrolled in your May workshops. I would like to mention that this happened after a failure, and the only thing which changed between failure and success was that I attended your classes, which was one of the best learning experience in my life.
On my previous attempt, I failed in Spoken English Proficiency (SEP). Before attending your workshops, I was very confused on how this workshop would affect my SEP, but I was wrong. Now, I strongly believe that following your concepts and styles of dealing with this exam affected and lifted my entire performance including SEP, which helped me to pass this exam.
Things I liked the most about your workshop are: your fundamental approach and knowledge of dealing with this exam, constant feedback by you, Anna, SPs, direct interaction with your SPs who have been real SPs and watching other people performing real encounter etc. Through your workshop, I also got good friends to practice for this exam, and now we are planning for the residency together.
I have already recommended my friends about your workshops and will continue doing that. Most importantly, some of them already took the exam after me and passed this exam.
I am really thankful to you and Anna, not only for helping me to pass this exam, but also for teaching me helpful traits toward my medical career in United States.
Sincerely
Dear Dr. Swartz,
Thank you for helping me pass the Step 2-CS test. I took your workshops in April and took the exam in Phili on May 22. Learned today that I passed.
The most important thing I have learned from your workshops is that I know how to interact with patients confidently. There are other things I learned that will benefit me in my future career.
Dear Anna,
I took the CS exam on May 19, and I passed.
The C3NY workshop was very helpful, and the cases in the real exam were much easier than those we practiced during the last day of the workshop. I called my husband and told him “I am going to pass” the moment I walked out of the test center… Thanks again.
Dear Dr. Swartz and Ms. Anna Lank,
I am Dr. Phani Bhushan one of your students during the April session. I gave my exam on 23rd April at Atlanta, just 2 days after the course, and I have passed the exam finally.
I full heartedly thank you both for helping and guiding me to enable this. I am so happy for having achieved this, as this was one of those steps in life which has taught me many things. I adopted your way of data gathering and I have passed this time. Your classes also have given me an insight of the US culture and medical practice which will help me in my future career.
I wish you both the very best and request you to continue your courses as long as you can to enable many students like me to achieve their dreams.
Thank you so much once again.
Warm regards
I have great news to share with you: I passed the Step 2CS!
I was at the workshop of 2007 February. Thank you for your wonderful teaching. Without your great help, I do not think I could have passed. I really believe the experience will benefit me in the future as well.
Thank you again and please pass my best regards to your great SPs!
Dear Ms. Lank and Dr. Swartz,
I took the exam on March 16th in Chicago. I was very nervous at the exam; afterwards, I felt very bad. It was the most scary moment when I opened the envelope containing my result. I got a Pass!
Thank you very much for the C3NY workshops. I really appreciate your efforts of delivering this education to FMGs.
