DIP Ep 615: Easy Understanding of The Tetanus Vaccine + Vaccine Test Taking Strategies
The tetanus vaccine is a bear for many people to understand and memorize. In this podcast, I discuss a very simple approach to thoroughly knowing exactly what you need for the USMLE and COMLEX examinations. Since vaccines are also well represented on the exams, I spend time discussing “focus areas” and tips/tricks that can help you nail vaccine questions of all types as you take your test.
DIP Ep 614: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 126 (Basic Sciences)
Our friends at the NBME love to throw in quite a number of basic science topics on the more recent USMLE administrations. In this podcast, I address a number of these topics by using common exam scenarios and making tons of useful integrations.
DIP Ep 613: Peri-operative Medicine (Social Sciences)
In this super HY podcast, I discuss a large number of scenarios relating to peri-operative medicine. Think of this as a logical extension to the Nov 2020 series of podcasts I have on my website. Be sure to learn this material ahead of your exam.
