Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna,
 
Just wanted to let you know I passed.

I was initially skeptical, but I decided to have a little faith. I did everything you said: no lists, didn’t write anything down in all encounters and focused only on the patients (Not SP's).  I am grateful because I not only learned but I also meet other FMG's some who became my study partners.  I am also grateful for your book for it gave me good insight.
 
Continue with the excellent work and God bless.

Dear Dr Swartz,
 
I am writing to let you know good news…I PASSED!!!

I read a lot of postings on usmleforum.com and decided to take your course.  I followed all your advice.  I did not once have to follow a list and never did I feel at the end of the encounter that I should have asked this or that.  Once again I thank the whole team and the experience at C3NY.  It was not only educational in terms of the Step 2CS exam, but I met and befriended people from a variety of cultures which made the experience even more wholesome. I hope also that all of them passed their exams.
 
I would also like to tell you that I passed the Kenyan board exams, and at present I am working at a university hospital in a town called Eldoret. Whenever you decide to come to Kenya, do not think twice about contacting me or my family.
 
Please thank Ms. Lank and the SPs since they contributed also to my passing. When I came to the C3NY Workshop, I had zero confidence; after all 3 days, you gave me the confidence to take the exam and pass it.
 
Thank you,

Yours faithfully,
