Examinees are expected to investigate the simulated patient's chief complaint as well as obtain a thorough assessment of their past medical history medications allergies social history (including alcohol tobacco drug use sexual practices etc.) and family history. Usually examinees have one telephone encounter speaking to an SP through a microphone during which there is no physical exam component.
Examinees are allowed 15 minutes to complete each encounter and 10 minutes for the patient note for a single patient encounter. The patient note is slightly different from a standard SOAP note. For the exam note the examinees will document the pertinent facts relating to the history of present illness as well as elements of the past medical history medication history allergies social history family history and physical exam. The examinees will then state up to 3 differential diagnoses relating to the simulated patient's symptoms and tests or procedures to investigate the simulated patient's complaints.[5] The examinees should also list pertinent positive and negative findings to support each potential diagnosis.[5]The examinees will not recommend any specific treatments in the note in contrast to a true clinic SOAP note (i.e. IV fluids antibiotics or other medications).

When the CSA first started it was strictly for Foreign Medical Graduates while US graduates were not required to do it. That was considered a double standard in the US medical licensing process.
