My review: When I discovered this course I only had 10 days to go and I was desperate. I’m an international doctor, currently living in Cleveland. My Husband is a busy fellow at the Cleveland Clinic.At the time I did the course I was taking care of my three kids, no contact what so ever with other doctors. No one to practice with!! I took the intensive course for 6 days and I passed!!! I now realized that I didn’t have a clue what the exam was about until I took the course. I would have failed if it wasn’t for Dr Puma I would recommend to do it with time, not wait until the end, it’s no good for your heart 😉

Dr Puma provided me with excellent course material tailored to my needs as a student physician assistant. He facililitated the training in a manner that allowed me to interact, while developing skills and knowledge that can be applied to my role as a medical provider. The week long course was hectic and I feel very confident appearing for my exams. I am extremely thankful to Dr Puma for the wonderful experience.

“Dear Dr Puma: I would like to know how you come up with these great cases for usmle step 2 CSE.I think it is due to your immense clinical experience in India .I believe that these did help me a lot to pass step 2 CS.Thanks!”

I wish I had tutoring all along…
I didn’t know Step 2 CS could be so easy and so much fun on the exam day.
Dr Puma is the best! On very short notice, Dr Puma was able to schedule a mock test to evaluate me for Cs. He came into my life and immediately started looking for my strengths and weaknesses both. He increased my confidence by telling me to retain what I already knew and combined it with the new stuff/strategies .And it worked. I passed the finally in my 3rd attempt. Thank you Dr Puma

Despite step 1 and 2ck score of 94…96…I failed step 2 CS due to ignorance. Your tutoring has given me boost I needed to keep my hopes of matching.Thanks man.….

I have had my first 7 session with Dr Puma till today(3-14-2010), and I just wanted to tell you that it has already made such a difference in my understanding of all things about CS. I’ve only had one other tutor in my life(in High School) but I remember many of his answers being “I don’t really know about this” and that he would read my textbook right before each session and that was about it.”
“But Dr Puma seems to know everything about every one of the CS components like cis,ice,sep, and thanks to him I no longer feel like I’m drowning every moment of preparing for CS. Thanks so much!”

I am thrilled to inform you that I pass this exam.Thanks for all your help and support in this difficult journey. I filled up the feedback form for you. I already sent 2 friends and they have joined your course I believe.I will be recommending your course very highly to all who need help in CS exam.
- HOW DID YOUHEARABOUT ME? Usmleforum and your website. I liked the bad feedbacks on you on the forum and your responses on them was my favourite, the ones that were closed made me wanna take the course more, I am serious. Only good people get a lot of criticism and hatred.
- HOW HELPFUL WAS THE COACHING TO YOU ON A SCALE OF 1-10?9.5
- WHAT PART OF COACHING YOU FEEL NEEDS MORE ATTENTION? not sure if any.
- WHAT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE COACHING?The logical use of blue sheet idea and the feedback on the cases. Oh the reassurance you make was so helpful too.
- WILL YOU RECOMMEND ME TO YOUR PEERS/FRIENDS?No question, of course yes.
- HOW WAS THE FEE STRUCTURE….TOO HIGH,TOO LOW,JUST RIGHT?Just right.
7.HOW WAS THE DURATION OF THE COURSE….TOO LONG OR TOO SHORT OR JUST RIGHT? Just right, the point is students should take it and finish it few days before the test
8.ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME TO FURTHER IMPROVE THIS COURSE. The examination lesson would be of a great help if presented early in the course, just after the patient examination scripts, may be.
Best,
Riyad,Egypt
