In this episode, I continue the rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2/3 exams by discussing a host of infectious disease, gastrointestinal, and basic science concepts. This podcast focuses very strongly on prognosis style questions which are beginning to make a strong appearance on the USMLEs and are notoriously difficult to prepare for. Easy points if you know this stuff.
