Divine Intervention Episode 155 – Common USMLE Problems (Drug Ads, Timing, New 2CK Exam, Studying) + New USMLE Booster Course.

In this short podcast, I talk about my strategy for dealing with drug ads, timing, and spaced repetition for the USMLE exams. I also talk about how to approach the “new” USMLE Step 2CK exam. At the end, I spend time discussing a new 10 hr “HY Booster” Step 2CK/3 course that I have offered on a 1-on-1 basis for a while now. The Step 1 analog runs for about 20 hrs. The course has been in testing for a few months and has gotten overwhelmingly good feedback. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 143 – The Clutch Biostats Review (Comprehensive for all the USMLE exams).

In this episode, I use a large # of questions (hopefully thoughtful ones) to discuss the vast majority of biostats concepts tested on all the USMLE exams (and also the ABIM/Medicine ITE). I emphasize understanding the concepts as against mindlessly memorizing formulas. If you want to become very good at biostats with little or no use of 2 by 2 tables, this is the podcast for you. This podcast should help you understand things enough to reason things out and do very minimal math quickly and efficiently on these exams. THERE ARE ATTACHED SLIDES BELOW! Follow and annotate them as you study.
