clinical skills assessment

[zlorg]

Has anyone here taken the csa test or know someone who has? How is it? Does anyone know the pass rate for Ross students?

I myself never knew anyone who ever failed this test. it is more a glorified english oral exam. be emphathetic, ask the pertinent questions,and its easy. I know people who actually studyed for it, and boy where they pissed that they wasted that time!

we won't have to take teh CSA exam anymore.

I think its becoming retired next year or at the end of this year.

Instead there is a new USMLE step 2 exam.

Its 2 days long. 1 day is the test and the next day is the clinical test.

american allopathic students have to take the exam now. osteopathic students dont I believe (although I remember there being talk to make the COMLEX similar in this regard as well).

nor do we have to take the TOEFEL anymore.
