Testimonials

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.

Dear Anna,

I just got my results. I passed!!!!!!!!!! It has been quite frustrating waiting for the results. There were people who took it 10 days after I did and got the results way before me. I was beginning to have doubts. Compared to the previous time, the exam went pretty well except for one rather annoying mistake I made. I had typed the first case and didn’t finish that patient note because I was too slow typing on the keyboard (I’m more used to my laptop). Anyway I switched to writing after that.

I had the Malaysian sisters (from the C3NY workshops) with me on the day of my exam, and it was a comfort seeing their friendly faces.

Your advice of breathing really made a big difference. I was loud and clear, and none of my SP’s had any problems hearing or understanding me.

Do convey my regards and much thanks to Dr. Swartz. His teaching is invaluable, and I am sure that his words will be ringing in my ears even when I go on to practice Medicine.

Thanks once again for everything.

Dear Dr. Swartz, Anna, and Ginny,

I don’t know how to express in words what I’m feeling right now. I just got the results for my CSA, and I cleared it!

The first thought that came to my mind after thanking God and my husband was that I could have never done it without C3NY. Taking this course was the best decision I have ever made. It changed my whole perspective towards the exam. I still remember the way we had been taught how to introduce ourselves. It seemed a little unbelievable at that time but when I took the exam, it came home how much difference that really made. The simple sentence that I picked up from Dr. Swartz during one of his classes about asking the patient first thing after introducing “Are you comfortable sitting or would you rather lie down” always drew a warm response from my patients. I now realize that this exam is all about these simple things only, and the ones we could miss out so easily without the proper training.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for helping me and bringing me one step closer to my aim.

I wish C3NY all the success, and may you help so many others like me.
