As distance from Step 1 increases, knowledge of clinically relevant genetics for Step 2 and 3 diminishes for many people. In this podcast, my focus is to dust off those cobwebs and emphasize the high yield information needed for these exams that should be your key takeaways to answer questions correctly.

DIP Ep 660: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 139 (Super HY Stuff)
In this episode, I discuss a host of HY OBGYN, gastroenterology, hematology, and endocrinology concepts that are unusual but have started showing up on the test. I would certainly recommend listening to this ahead of your exam.
DIP Ep 659: USMLE Step 2/3 Review Series 138
In this podcast, I continue the rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2/3 exams by discussing a host of cardiology/pulmonology related concepts that are commonly reflected on these tests.
DIP Ep 653: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 137 (Dermatology)
This podcast is ultra HY. I discuss a series of dermatology related vignettes/concepts that the USMLEs love to highlight. I do spend some time emphasizing specific constructs not found in many resources that tend to pop up every now and then. Definitely worth a listen ahead of your exam for easy. points.
DIP Ep 651-USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 136

DIP Ep 650: The Clutch Nutrition Podcast (For Step 1-3)
Our friends at the NBMEs have this new goal of testing nutrition. This detailed podcast helps you focus on a lot of the content they want you to know in an integrated format. The USMLEs are not going to test definitions with this stuff. They are going to test integrations so this podcast prepares you very well in terms of how you are expected to learn/know the material.

DIP Ep 635: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 133 (Some HY Basic Science Mechanisms)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series by examining some HY basic science mechanisms that are commonly tested on the USMLE Step 2CK/3 exams. I also discuss some prognostic factors/disease complications.
DIP Ep 633: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 132
This podcast is a continuation of the rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK/3 (and also Level 2/3) exams. In this specific episode, I cover a lot of biostatistics, prognostic factors, risk factors, infectious and inflammatory diseases, and other concepts. The goal here is not memorization but understanding and integration.
