In this podcast, I continue to delve into MSK concepts the USMLEs consider to be relevant for Step 1-3 by discussing NBME pathologies relating to the knees and hip. Short podcast but very HY for your test.

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 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 614: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 126 (Basic Sciences)
Our friends at the NBME love to throw in quite a number of basic science topics on the more recent USMLE administrations. In this podcast, I address a number of these topics by using common exam scenarios and making tons of useful integrations.
DIP Ep 613: Peri-operative Medicine (Social Sciences)
In this super HY podcast, I discuss a large number of scenarios relating to peri-operative medicine. Think of this as a logical extension to the Nov 2020 series of podcasts I have on my website. Be sure to learn this material ahead of your exam.
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 610: Imaging and The USMLEs (Part 1)
In this podcast, I address a large number of scenarios relating to imaging and vascular procedures commonly tested on all the USMLE exams (Step 1-3). This is often content that is pretty difficult to prepare for. This podcast lays out what you need to know in an easy to understand fashion. Very HY material for your test.
DIP Ep 608: Herbal Supplements and The USMLEs
In this podcast, I address the common herbal supplements and the many different ways they could be tested on the USMLEs in the form of clinical vignettes. Know these and you should be pretty set for this content (Step 1-3).
DIP Ep 606: Drug Interactions For The USMLEs (Step 1-3)
This is easily one of the most important podcasts I have ever made. You will see this material on your USMLE exams. There’s no test taking strategy that will save you here. I would categorize this as material that you either know or don’t know. Learn this stuff as well as you can. Know the interactions (and their mechanisms). I highlight them very well and make tons of integrations here.
DIP Ep 605: The Extremely HY RBC Podcast (Step 1-3)
In this podcast, I discuss RBCs from many different angles that are tested on the USMLEs. This podcast will help you answer many questions correctly on your exam. I make lots of integrations as I discuss the concepts.
