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 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.
DIP Ep 623: Last Minute Microbiology Review (Step 2 and 3)
In this podcast, I review a host of HY microbiology factoids that commonly show up on Step 2 and 3. You will directly get many questions right on your exam from listening to this podcast. I make so many integrations and delve into some test taking principles with this.
DIP Ep 619: USMLE MSK Series (Elbow, Neck, Back)
There are so many ways our friends at the NBMEs test musculoskeletal pathologies. In this podcast, I discuss the elbow, neck, and back. I emphasize the specific things you need to know along with the different “decision permutations” that throw people off on the exam. Very, very, very HY to know this stuff especially for the recent exams.
DIP Ep 616: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 127 (More Basic Sciences)
The NBMEs have become relentless in integrating more and more basic sciences on the USMLE Step 2CK/3 exams. In this podcast, I discuss a large number of basic science concepts that routinely show up on the exam (vignettes, integrations, and contextual information).
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 611: Imaging and The USMLEs (Part 2)
In this episode, I continue my discussion on the many imaging tests that often pop up on the USMLEs. I discuss when they should be used and appropriate contraindications. Very helpful material for your test.
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).
DIP Ep 600: Intuition and Integrations With Select Equations (Step 1-3)
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.
