Anna,

Just wanted to let you know that I've passed my CS exam!!!!

I feel really excited about that and I give all the credit for you and Dr Swartz..... I could have never done it without all of you.

When I started the course, I thought I knew it all and that the course was just a revision for my knowledge but you all proved me wrong. You have all redirected me in a way that I have never imagined.

This course not only helped me to pass this test, but it gave me tools that I thing will be invaluable in my future career to be a good clinician.
For all this, I say....THANK YOU from all my heart.

Dear Anna and Dr. Swartz,

I am really glad to tell you that I've passed my exam. Thank you very much for helping me.

The workshop really taught me so many techniques which came in handy, though I have to confess that I had strong doubts in passing the exam after taking it.

Hope that I can meet you both someday to thank you in person, till then I wish you best of luck in what you are doing for IMGs.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Swartz and Ms Lank,

I am Hussein Warda M.D., a recent graduate from Alexandria, Egypt. I attended your superb course in May of 2009.  I am sure you see hundreds of doctors per year!!!! I hope you remember me.

To tell you the truth during the course, Dr. Swartz's simple, intriguing and systematic way of teaching made the exam look too easy. I was astonished to see how simple and effective Dr. Swartz's technique was in introducing one's self, approaching the patient, obtaining a history and examination.

You are truly a very good mentor who is capable of conveying confidence, information and skills to all your students.

I had a lot of fun during the course. I benefited greatly although to be honest, during the course I had doubts about passing the exam.  You even anticipated these doubts during our first day :)

I would like to inform you that I have passed my step 2 CS exam on my first attempt, and I am writing you an email as we all promised we would do :)

Thank you and Anna for the great effort you spent with us.

I attached a picture we took before I left.

Please keep in touch. 

Yours truly,

Dear Ms. Lank,

I am Amr Abdelghany.  I hope you remember me.

Guess what... I PASSED THE EXAM.  Thanks a lot.  Please tell Dr. Swartz that he was right when he told me that I was going to pass this time.

I really can’t find the words to write, but from my heart Thanks a lot to you and Dr. Swartz.....

Best regards,

Dear Dr. Swartz,

This is Mohamad from Egypt. I attended your March C3NY workshop and took the CS in Houston last April. I am not sure if you remember me.  I passed Step 2CS!!!!.

I cannot express enough my gratitude and appreciation to you.  I couldn’t have done it without you.  C3NY taught me the real philosophy behind this test.  I would recommend this course to any one, and I would advise them to listen carefully during the workshop and to relax at home.  Rest assured that if they do exactly what you told them to do...they will be fine.  Even the feeling of frustration you said we would have after the test came true!

And I want Anna to know that I use the breathing exercise now even in my daily life to combat stress and anxiety.

I also just got the results of my step 2 CK exam...I got a 236.

Thank you very much.
 
Best Regards,

I am so happy to tell you that I passed my Step 2CS test....I just got the results an hour ago. This was my second attempt for the Step 2CS, and I was really worried, but it was the magical advice that you gave us that made the difference.  I can't thank you enough!

Many thanks to ALL of YOU.  You have been of tremendous help...God bless you all.

Hi Anna, Dr. Swartz, Ginny, and all the SPs of C3NY,

Happy New Year. I passed the test thanks to all of you,

About my experience - when i came out of the exam center I was depressed and I was not sure I was going to pass. In the first 3 patients, I was really anxious. I did not have enough time to do everything then I decided to follow the patient’s leads the way Dr. Swartz taught us.

Again, thanks a lot and best of luck.

Hello Dr. Swartz and Anna,

You remember that girl who was afraid to take the history all the day, and she hardly took it the last one at the end of the day in the workshops of July 17-18, 2006? My name is Mervat Estefanos. The wonderful news is that I passed the CS, I'm sooo happy; it was really hard, but thank God for his big favor to me. I took the exam in August 24th.

Thanks to all of you. My best wishes to all of you.

We look forward to helping you be a successful candidate!
