DIP Ep 626: The Clutch Herpes Podcast (Step 1-3), Part A

This podcast is incredibly HY for the USMLE and COMLEX exams. In this multipart podcast series, I address herpes from an “integrative” perspective. There are so many branch points our examinee overlords can take with the herpes viruses so I aggressively go after them with this podcast. In this first part, I lay a herpes foundation with a big discussion on HSV1. I also integrate the trigeminal nerve and specifically discuss some pathologies that make common appearances on these board exams.

DIP Ep 625: The 5 USMLE “Gaps” (Step 1-3)

In this podcast, I conceptually explain the 5 different gaps tested on the USMLEs (Serum AG, Urine AG, Osmolal gap, SAAG gradient, and A-a gradient). I make numerous integrations and really help you understand these things so you don’t have to memorize them. Another point of emphasis (low SAAG ascites is similar conceptually to exudative effusions). If you’re interested in the Step 1-3 classes beginning next week, shoot me an email.
