In this episode, I continue my discussion of the Step 1 Free 120.I make tons of integrations here with anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, biostatistics, and other relevant subjects. The PDF for the relevant free 120 is attached to the first part of this series (Ep 580). I also conclude with a life lesson on knowledge, understanding, and wisdom and how this may be relevant to test taking and patient care.
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 570: The Clutch Skin and Soft Tissue Infections Podcast (Step 1-3) + Minor Correction
In this podcast, I discuss many of the HY skin and soft tissue infections you need to know for your exam. Easy points if you devote time to learning them. Quick errata: for leprosy, the lepromatous form is a TH2 issue, the tuberculoid form is a TH1 issue. I mixed the numbers up in the podcast. My apologies.
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!
DIP Ep 554: What is this antibiotic used for? (Extremely HY for Step 1-3)
Easily one of my highest yield podcasts to date. Please listen to this as many times as you can throughout your dedicated period. There will be numerous questions on your exam from this one podcast. I literally discuss most of the major antibiotics and the SPECIFIC USE CASES for Step 1-3. Note that I self correct around minute 22 for quadruple therapy in H. Pylori compared to something I stated a few minutes earlier in the podcast (metronidazole, not a macrolide).
DIP Ep 552: The Iron Story and The USMLEs (Part 2)
In this podcast, I wrap up our Fe story for the USMLEs by discussing specific pathologies. I integrate extensive amounts of genetics, hematology, microbiology, and endocrinology. Definitely worth a listen for every exam taker.
Divine Intervention Episode 550: The Iron Story and The USMLEs (Part 1)
There are lots of Fe based concepts that the USMLEs routinely test (Step 1-3). Having a good foundation is very helpful in nailing these questions on your exam. In this first part, the goal is to help you understand this important metal. I also make numerous integrations along the way with certain diseases I will explore in more detail in the next part.
Divine Intervention Episode 546: Super HY USMLE Neurology Integrations (Step 1-3)
This is easily one of my most high yield podcasts for all the USMLE exams. I discuss close to 100 or so integrations that hit on many of the neurology topics tested on the USMLEs (from a structural perspective). I discuss malignancies, vascular items, seizures, infectious diseases, risk factors, etc. For the amount of time you’ll spend on it, the yield is really worth it.
