Dear Dr. Swartz,

You may remember me as the Israeli student in your June session.  I wanted to thank you for teaching the C3NY course and for taking so much time and giving so much attention to all of us.

I am thrilled to write you that I passed the test and can now apply for a residency spot.  As I mentioned to you, I will give the name of your course to our American program coordinator and recommend her to bring you to Tel Aviv.  Thanks again from the bottom of my heart...

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Mark Swartz, Anna Lank and the entire team of C3NY,

I just received my passing mark for the clinical skills exam :) ! 

I enjoyed your course tremendously and think it is a critical course that should be embedded in every medical teaching center curriculum. Your standardized patients were amazing.  Although I received rigorous training and clinical experience in a variety of settings, I gained a lot from this course.  I give your course my highest recommendation.

Thank you so much for your time, effort, and patience.

Thank you again,

Dear Dr Swartz,

I have just got the results: I passed the Clinical Skills exam.

I wanted to thank you for that. Before taking your course, I did not really understand the true structure and purpose of this exam.

For me, this exam was more difficult than the other USMLE exams (Step 1 and Step 2 CK) as I am a trained Pathologist who works with tissues, microscopes and computers and does not deal with patients. I can therefore say, with full confidence, that I have passed this exam only and only due to your excellent training program.

Once again, Dr Swartz thank you so much for all your support, knowing you has been a great experience and an honor, to me!
 
Best regards,

Hi Dr. Swartz,
 
I hope you remember me from your course back in December of 2007.

I'm writing you now to tell you that I passed the Step 2 CS exam.  I really found out back in February...the reason I waited so long to write this e-mail though is a credit again to you.  Not only did your course give me the confidence to pass the exam, I was subsequently able to enter the match.  I was just placed today at Schneider Children's Hospital for residency in pediatrics...my top choice.

I wanted to thank you for all your help and the confidence you instilled.  You do a wonderful “chesed” (kindness) for people.
 
Sincerely,

Dear Anna & Dr. Swartz,

I passed the Step 2CS test, and I would like to thank you all for a fertile CS workshop.

The course is essential for passing the exam and provides important skills and attitudes.

Thanks,
