Dear Dr. Swartz & Ms. Lank,

I recently got my result. I passed!

I found C3NY on the web. The first thing that caught my attention was your very useful website. You have information about absolutely everything, from transportation to accommodations in New York City. I chose one of your hotel recommendations, and it was a great deal.

The workshop was excellent.  You provided me with some information that I would not find anywhere else. Some information was even shocking for me.  But I trusted you Dr. Swartz and Ms. Lank, and I did the right thing. You both were observing everyone very closely, and you gave feedback all the time, with all the students.

The place where the workshop was conducted was also very nice
I would like to thank not only both of you, but also all the SPs at C3NY. Congratulations for the great job you are all doing.

I hope physicians in Brazil, just like me, preparing for CS have the opportunity to attend the workshop.  Feel free to contact me if I can help you in any way.

Dear Dr. Swartz, Anna, and Sandy,

Hey guys........finally good news!!!!

Just received my ECFMG certificate. All steps concluded!! Now I’ll start looking for a spot in the Internal Medicine programs for 2007.

Thank you so much for your collaboration in the conclusion of this last step. Every word that you advised me was crucial to this accomplishment as well as for my professional and personnel life. Despite the "couple yawnings" during our talks, I guess I picked up the most of the tips you guys gave me.

I’ll let you know about this next step that will make me able to apply in real life all those skills and others that will come up!!!

Thank you again for everything Anna, Sandy and Dr. Swartz.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Swartz and Miss Anna!

Last week I received my Overall pass step 2CS letter and ECFMG Certificate!

It took 9 weeks, but finally I can breathe with relief. As you may remember I failed on my first attempt in the Data Gathering component. So I've tried to repeat and master everything I used on my first attempt, but I needed to avoid the same mistakes, and now I can say for sure…nothing is better than Dr. Swartz's approach to understand the exam mechanics, secrets, and to obtain that inner feeling of self trust.

I know that in the universe of FMGs a small part takes the C3NY workshop. The experience of the workshops is invaluable not only for exam taking, but for the entire professional life and it is worth much more than the workshop fee.

I'd like to send special thanks to our SP Charles who patiently took part in workshop during 2 days, and I thank every SP on the third day for the incredible learning experience they provided.
