Hi Dr. Swartz:
I am glad to tell you I passed CS. The exam was easier than the cases in your workshop just as you told us, but it was really helpful to practice on harder cases.
I attended C3NY CS workshop 6/19-6/21/06. Thanks to Dr. Swartz who suggested that I postpone my exam date to practice more. That suggestion made me feel depressed at first, but it really helped also. I postponed my exam date to 7/12. With this pressure, I practiced harder. I cannot believe I passed, and my English is much better than before. Now I feel confidence to go ahead.
I cannot image the result if I didn’t attend your workshop. I know my language is not good, but I was never tested in it before. You Dr. Swartz are an expert, my respected and trust teacher so I believed what you said.
So I tried my best. On the exam day, I had no bad feeling, no nervousness, no excitement; I just believed it was my regular clinic day. I didn’t care what the SPs looked like, and I even forgot that I was an IMG. It didn’t matter if the diagnosis was unclear. I controlled the time well, and counseled the patients.
After the exam, I felt not good. I felt that I made a number of mistakes. When I saw the results, I could not believe!but it was true, I PASSED! After double checking the letter, my eyes filled with tears.
I want to say thank you, Dr. Swartz. Thanks for you giving me shock at the beginning and confidence later. What I learn from you is not only knowledge but also the characters of how to be a good doctor. This will effect all my life in my medical career.
Thanks again and hope that the C3NY CS workshops can help many more people like me.
Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna,
I just got my results after a long 2 months wait and I PASSED!!
I am thankful to God that I took the C3NY workshop which didn’t just serve as a channel for knowledge but also a way to improve one’s confidence, positivity and inner strength. Initially I was not too sure of clearing this exam as I had not given my step 2 CK. But after the 3rd day of the workshop I was self assured that I will pass the test!!
C3NY teaches us that CS is not merely knowing medicine but is more about how to make your patient feel comfortable and warm in a doctor’s presence!! Simply, things like smile, confidence, asking the patient how he feels and so on are of paramount importance… more than just one’s medical knowledge.
My test overall went pretty good as just before the test I remembered a few of these simple tips which we were taught and Anna’s deep breathing tips!..which works like magic Anna!!
And most importantly the what I call “Hidden truth of the doorway information” which was so true since 5 out of my 12 cases where totally ambiguous and had absolute no connection with the provided doorway information; that’s when I remembered you Dr. Swartz and knew its more important to “Listen to the SP than asking questions. ”
Thanks a lot once again!.. I will never forget these simple but sweet medical art of patient dealing!!. C3NY rules!!
Dear Dr Swartz and Anna,
I am glad to tell you that I passed the CS. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The class let me know what the patient encounter looks like and made me feel confident.
Also, for me, the most important sentence I learned from Dr. Swartz is that “do whatever you do as in your daily clinic”. This was exactly what I did during the exam.
Thanks again.
I just checked my CS result. I passed! Thank you, Dr. Swartz and all other people in C3NY for your kind help.
Dear Dr. Swartz,
I was in your class in the November 2007 workshop. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to let you know that I learned today that I passed the CS exam.
I have previously failed this exam 2 times, in the ICE part both times. I don’t know what happened each time, but this time when I took the exam for the 3rd time in Houston, I just did exactly like what you have told in the class: “JUST TO FOLLOW THE PATIENT’S LEADS”.. that’s all I did differently, and I have passed this time and am now ECFMG certified!
The course was just absolutely fantastic. Thank you, thank you so much. I don’t have words to let you know how thankful I am. Thanks to Anna Lank too who was there most of the time during the classes trying to coordinate and teach us what the SP’s expect from us.
Thank you,
Yours Sincerely
Dear Dr. Swartz,
I passed CS on my first attempt due to your excellent teaching ability and Anna’s perfect communication styles. C3NY tought me to evaluate the patient as a whole being, not just as a headache, arm pain, or any other complaint. This is what I learned during the 3 short days of your excellent program. And it is the key of success!
And as Anna said, if you really listen your patient as you listen to him in coffee shop, you will be successful. I was inspired with this great communication style and gained confidence by C3NY.
Thank you so much and good luck to Step 2-CK candidates.
Dear Dr. Swartz and Dear Anna,
I attended the April workshop and I feel so glad to inform you both that I passed Step 2CS.
Hats off to a great guide teacher and mentor for instilling so much confidence in all of us.
You both helped me to be fearless and encouraged me to do my best. The tips and the golden points were simply amazing. Like a true teacher you saw beyond our weaknesses and never gave up on us. Your opinion and suggestions were of utmost importance. You gave me the real picture and cleared all myths and doubts about this exam.
The course is so insightful that it literally brings out the best in everyone.
Anna, you were awesome too. God bless you.
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ALL MY PHYSICIAN FRIENDS WHO ARE VYING FOR USMLE.
A good course is one which helps you the most and tougher than the real exam. You made it look so simple and achievable.
Albert Einstein said “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” And this is exactly what you did.
Thank you for showing me the way and leading from the front. It is said a teacher BECOMES MORE important than God as it is the teacher which shows the right path.
Keep up the good work.
C3NY ROCKS. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS.
It was an honor to be taught by a legend.
Dear Dr. Swartz, Anna and Charles,
I am so happy to let you know that I passed USMLE Step 2 CS exam!
Every single moment on the real exam reminded me of everything you mentioned in your course. Even the voice in the room as God!
Three days on your course were more than helpful. First of all, the confidence you gave me during this course helped me to be more relaxed and focus on real exam. During your course, I gained not only good experience, but also good friends. Some of us communicate and support each other. Your book is the best for preparation for this test. I will keep your book in my library and maybe one day, my daughter, who wants to be a physician, will use it.
You are a wonderful Team and deserve the best recognition from all of us, foreign physicians!!!
With all my heart…
Very sincerely,
Your student
Hey Dr. Swartz!!
My name is Isidoros Vardaros. I took your course this past August.
I am pleased to say that with your help I was able to pass CS on my first try. I have to admit that on Monday of the workshop I was extremely skeptical of your teaching tactics. But by Wednesday afternoon I knew that I was ready. Thank you once again.
Keep up the great work!!
Dear Dr. Swartz,
Praise be to ALLAH and blessings on His Last Prophet.
I passed the USMLE Step-2 CS exam. I got my result today on 6th of August, 2008.
It was my second attempt at the USMLE step-2CS. On my first time, I had failed in all the three components of the USMLE Step-2CS. Your wonderful coaching was one of the things which made it possible to happen.
You instill confidence into your students which is very essential for passing this exam. Thanks a lot for your wonderful coaching.
Give my regards to Ms. Anna Lank and all the SP’s there. You are a wonderful team there.
I have no hesitation in recommending your program to other USMLE aspirants.
