A few people attended Kaplan and posted their tips on some other forum (usmleXXXxm).If you read my notes it is given at page 6 of my notes.

as far as I know there are about 23 points of CIS nad you need to score 20


1)examinee knocked before entering
2)apeared professional in dress/hygiene
3)introduced self by name
4)comfortable eye contact
5)used patient name
6)Focused attention on patient
7)expressed empathy( reflected pt feeling)
8)conveyed nonjudgmental attitude ( avoid words like good, great,excellent)instead say allright, okay, thank you
9)used appropriate draping techniqe
10)used few open ended questions
11)used non leading quaestions
12)asked one question at a time
13)answered without interrupting the patient
14)paraphrased
15)used lay language ( imaging studies instead of CT MRI, Electrical study instead of ecg
16)used transitional phrases
17)gave explantion during physical
18)appropriate reassurence
19)summerized significant hx
20)diagnostic impression in lay term
21)discussed diagnostic test
22)asked if pt had any questions or concerns
23)paient educations/suggestion


If you see point 18-23 are generally discussed in counseling.
So it means just by doing proper wrap up you secure 6 points out of 20 which you need to pass CIS-The most dreaded component for IMG's!
