DIP Ep 580: 2025 USMLE Step 1 Free 120 Discussion Part 1 (Q1-10, super helpful for Step 2 and 3!)

In this podcast, I begin working through the currently available USMLE Step 1 Free 120. This will be a very HY series with lots of integration and learning. For anyone that has listened to similar podcasts for the Step 2 Free 120 and the Step 3 Free 137, you know that there’s a lot I discuss here including testing principles. For those taking Step 2 and 3, strongly consider doing the Step 1 Free 120 for extra practice and listening to this series as the lines between the USMLEs are now heavily blurred with Step 1 being very clinical these days.

DIP Ep 569: Some Weird But Very HY Step 2/3 Basic Science Concepts (also helpful for Step 1)

This podcast is an oddball podcast. But you know what? It’s pretty HY to know this stuff for Step 2CK and 3. This stuff would also be very useful for a Step 1 taker as there is more emphasis on a clinical orientation with many Step 1 questions these days. I also discuss some test taking principles and wisdom related to how the USMLEs set up exam questions and answer choices. Worth your while for sure!

In this podcast, I conclude our discussion of the Step 3 Free 137. If you’re taking Step 2CK, I highly recommend listening to this podcast. I discuss a lot of complex concepts and useful test taking tips. Lengthy, but well worth the listening time. Use the PDF on the USMLE website to follow along. I also spend about 15 mins at the end discussing self care. I would listen to this to get some practical tips for maintaining a reasonably good quality of life as an individual in medicine.
