Step 2 CS Workshops
C3NY offers an intensive preparatory workshop for three days every month (see Dates and Costs for our schedule).
Day One offers a comprehensive and interactive workshop on history taking and communication skills geared specifically to the new Step 2 CS examination, covering exactly what questions to ask, and how to ask them. We have all the available information about the new examination and teach the skills necessary to address the changes. We present a thorough explanation of the exam itself, and videos of real SP encounters are shown. On Day Two, the workshop continues the skills learned on Day One with an added emphasis on physical examination techniques, as well as a detailed dialogue examining the structure and development of a specific SP case, and the ideas behind the development of SP cases. The culmination of the three day workshop takes place on Day Three, offering a practical, hands-on experience interviewing a standardized patient, and observation and discussion of up to 13 SP cases, and practice writing a patient note.
