Dear Ms. Lank and Dr. Swartz,

I attended the April C3NY course.  I passed the exam.

I would like to thank you both for the enormous help in making me understand this exam and get through it without any embarassing hiccups.

It was particularly hard to unlearn the ways I had learned for 7 years in the UK where i trained and completed the exams in Psychiatry.  It was your approach that helped me through the process.

Thank you very much again for the personal training and motivation.

Hi Dr. Swartz and Anna,

Just a quick note to say I passed the Step 2 CS. Thanks for all your teaching and advice (I was in your October 23-25, 2006 C3NY Workshop). I would definitely recommend your course to anyone who is taking the exam. You just cannot learn everything from a book or the internet!

Best wishes for the future.

Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna,

I took the exam on 7th July at Houston , and I found it quite difficult. The wait was long - but I did find out I passed 1 week ago.

With regards to the workshop (which I took in June), I think it was useful as it provided a basis for a good opening, gave me an idea of what kinds of patient to expect, helped me refine the examination portion of the exam so I had time to do the most important and relevant parts, and in general eased my nerves.

I thank you for your help and support - I have now passed all 3 portions of the USMLE Step 1 and 2.

Kind regards,
