It is funny that you, from Buffalo, just posted this. I have a friend in your medical school who took the pass program after failing step 1. While he was taking the course, he said that it was great....but then he failed step one again, so i dont know how wonderful it was in the end. I do however know that after he failed he tried calling the coordinators several times and no one ever returned any of this calls...they pretty much kicked him to the curb.
FYI, last i checked the pass program is located in Champaign, IL on the Unviersity of Illinois campus. (unless it has several locations).
My opinion of the program is that most ppl take it after they fail step 1. it is a month long.
