I’m really happy that I’ve had your course during my preparation for Step 2CS exam. Your course opened a new vision on this exam and helped me to practice and prepare in the right direction. I am appreciative to have had this great opportunity. Thank you and your team for a great work. Thank you both, Charles and all SP’s and members of your team. Best regards,” — Uladzislau Valynets, M.D., Belarus “Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna,I passed! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge during the December 2005 C3NY workshop. It was a very enjoyable experience to receive such an outstanding teaching performance that you provided. Also, I would like to thank Anna and all of the SPs for their passionate help and useful comments.I will highly recommend the C3NY Workshops to all of my friends because it truly prepared me to PASS Step 2 CS. Dr. Swartz’s viewpoint on the exam is very unorthodox, but this is exactly what makes C3NY a one of a kind preparation for Step 2-CS and my future medical career in the USA.” — Dr. Yekaterina Bridgmon, Belarus “Dear Dr. Swartz, I am writing to thank you. I have taken my exam on December 4th, and got my passing score yesterday. I PASSED! I just wanted to thank you, your time, and the knowledge you shared with me during your course in October 2015. I know for sure, that the aspects of communication you underlined during the course will stay with me thoughout my life. Also, I remember how I did a diabetes case, and you included the symptoms of “paraneoplastic syndrome” in the differential diagnosis. I used this during the exam as well. I will recommend you to everyone I know who still needs to take this exam. You truly helped me to be more genuine during the exam. Retrospectively, I know this for sure. I am so proud I passed it. I know you will be happy for me. Thank you again.” — Anna Grishkevich, MD, Belarus “Dear Dr. Swartz and Mizz Anna,I was a participant of the June 2009 workshop.I am glad to inform you I passed the exam in the end.Thank you for your assistance.” — Alex Lyzikov, M.D., Belarus Matthew Callahan freelance writer of policy, politics, religion, and tech. web designer, social media manager, a/v installer, computer question-answerer.
