Re: BEST CLINICAL SKILLS WORKSHOPS FOR C adonis123 - 01-24-09 13:34 Let me share my experience with you.
In my opinion live courses with standardised patients are excellent.
In my opinion the following are the ones which can be considered:
1. C3NY(NEW YORK): excellent coaching,but only 1 SP encounter(2-3 day)
2.Step2CSreviewcourse(New york):very good coaching, 4 to 5 SP encounters(2 day)
3.Kaplan CS course(Newark):Very good but too expensive, 10 SP encounters(5-6 day)
4.PassCsa course(philly) : Low priced but average,9 SP encounters(1 day)
My advice to u all is that one cannot learn communication skills from books,u can learn communication skills from these live encounters with trained SP's under proper guidance.
Greater the number of SP encounters ,better the training.
I hope it helps.
