This blog is written by the authors of Case-Based Simulation and Review for the USMLE Step 2 CS. Our goal is to provide you with additional information regarding the exam and the ideal approach to the standardized patients.

Our book provides interactive cases which can be simulated in a small group setting, which provides an experience that mirrors that of the actual test. Each case provides background information about the standardized patient as well as scoring sheets for the case. Each case is followed by a thorough discussion of the topic.

This blog will provide details about the best ways to interact with the standardized patients and how to deal with difficult situations.

We wish you the best in studying for this exam. Please provide us with comments or email us if you have any questions or topics that you would like to have discussed.
