Editorial Review:
This new book in the popular NMS Series provides practical guidance for the foreign medical graduate to orient and prepare for the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) Examination. Graduates are taught how to practice effectively in a clinical setting, transmit medical information to the patient, chart documentation, and evaluate/assess a patient's medical condition. Topics covered include medical terminology, composition and formatting of notes, and clinical correlation to differential diagnosis and laboratory work up plans. U.S. rules for foreign doctors are covered, and on-line sources are also provided. Several tables and diagrams support the text.

Rating:  - Very Good !!!
I failed the csa on my first attempt. I took this exam easily. I took on 2001. I wanted to let those people (ECFMG) who think that it's "mainly an interpersonal skills test" know that that idea is complete? I was born and raised in Texas; I have absolutely no problem with communication skills or English. According to my score report I failed because of my patient note. So don't take this exam lightly because it's not worth failing. Then I put more attention to prepare for it....I been forced to ... Read More
Rating: - I really enjoy this book
I recommend this book highly, specially if English is not your native language. This book will teach you how to make a medical note as you need in the CSA exam. Furthermore is a short a concise review.
Rating:  - Not as good as People think - Not enough Info
Though NMS publishes OK books for USMLE, this one just barely makes it. It does not have all the information one would need for CSA. Coverage is inconsistent, either some topics are covered elaboratley or just ignored. Though it says CSA book, wonder if author ever took CSA, as there are not many tips or information relevant to the exam. It is more like a physical examintion ( sketchy though ) book. Not tailored for CSA, not at all. It wont be enough to read this book only for CSA.
Rating: - good review book for the csa
The book discusses everything that is needed when you are taking the CSA. It gives you pointers on communication skills, it teaches you how to do a systematic physical examination and how to write a clear, concise patient's note (the latter being the most important component of the exam). The discussions are very extensive and the author will clearly say the things needed and not needed for the CSA.
This book definitely helped me passed the CSA.

I posted this message in other webs because I consider pertinent to do it and I like to share with everybody my happiness. I passed the CSA exam in my first attempt. English is my second language and I no had previous United States clinical experience. I am so happy with this book. I just get the results and I passed!!!!. I just read the NMS book. This book has an excellent coverage for the CSA. Many people think in the CSA exam as the USMLE boards and they try to memorize many things in mind. You ... Read More
