DIP Ep 627: The Clutch Herpes Podcast (Step 1-3), Part B

This podcast is incredibly HY for the USMLE and COMLEX exams. In this concluding podcast, 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 second part, I discuss the remaining herpes viruses (2-8). I also integrate the some material related to neurology and immunology while discussing some other 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.

DIP Ep 602: Endocrine Thinking (Stimulation and Suppression Tests)

In this high yield podcast, I discuss confirmatory testing for a host of endocrine related pathologies. The USMLEs love to test these in familiar and unfamiliar situations that occasionally step out of classic norms. I highlight a few of these scenarios and permutations so you’re well versed and ready to tackle whatever presents on your exam (especially arrows and what certain strange results mean).

In this podcast, I take 2 equations that commonly show up on all the USMLE exams, make them intuitive, and then proceed to discuss numerous (> 20) different ways they can be tested. These equations should feel a lot more logical after you listen to this. Very HY stuff here. I hope to make more podcasts like this in the near future.
