Divine Intervention Episode 299 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 53.

In this episode, I continue the rapid review series for the 2CK exam with a discussion of a host of misnomers people encounter on NBME exams (especially around hematology) that may get them into trouble. I explain lots of pathophysiology so you’re not stuck memorizing mindless details.

Quick correction: Reticulocyte counts are increased in thalassemia’s. That was an error on my part. My apologies.

Announcement Podcast: 20 hr Step 2CK/3 Comprehensive Course (4/28-5/1) and NBME Test Taking Strategies Course.

In this short podcast, I discuss the upcoming comprehensive 2CK/3 course taking place in April (4/28-5/1). It’s 5 hrs each day from 11a-4p PST (2-7 pm EST) via zoom. The NBME test taking strategies class will hold on 4/27 from 2-4.30 pm PST (5-7.30p EST). These 2 courses have been taken by lots of people who have done really well on their exams and represent a hyper-efficient means of reviewing the vast majority of tested material (including Nov 2020 changes and some associated Step 1 content) in a short time frame. I focus extensively on helping you understand material and correctly answer questions as the NBME writes them.
