Hellooo Friend!!!!
Hema Here!
Give me a Hi 5 first!
I am delighted!!!
I have got a Guest Blogger for You Today!
This blog was written specially for you all by Dr Kashif Bhatti, my great friend, wonderful colleague, fellow trainee who supported us during our CSA preparation.
He is one of the TOPPERS in February 2012 Batch from DWP GP programme.
He is writing about how he feels about CSA preparation.
Handed over to Kash…Kash…Kash…
THE CSA IS ALL ABOUT POSITIVITY !
The CSA examination has a daunting reputation.
It has a perceived unacceptably high failure rate for International Medical Graduates.
We are constantly and consistently informed that ‘white females are virtually guaranteed to pass with just showing up on the day’.
It is nearly £1500, which works out to be nearly £10 a minute!
The exam is every few months, so failure is not only costly, it is lengthy too.
In some deaneries, trainees whom pass separate from those who fail, increasing the negative aura of failure.
Finally, we consult for 18 months in General Practice!
How can we fail on the working basic communication we practise everyday?????
Are YOU still searching?????
All of these put up an artificial barrier that we have to climb before we even begin getting to grips with passing the exam.
For some, this becomes insurmountable and they spiral into negativity and repeat failure.
The Key to passing the CSA is POSITIVITY!
We learn much better when we want to learn about something rather than when we are made to learn.
Think about Yourself.
You will realise you remember what interests you more than what you have to know and which means less to you.
The CSA exam will be the most interesting surgery of your life!

This is the difference between the stressed and panicky IMG who cannot comprehend where their technically sound consultations are going wrong versus the vigilant but ultimately quietly confident local graduate who subconsciously is Positive.
