Category: Microbiology – USMLE Step 3
DIP Ep 631-Travel Medicine Part A (super HY with numerous integrations, for Step 1-3)
In this podcast, I discuss travel medicine. This is a topic that is heavily tested on all the USMLE exams. People tend to get so many of these questions wrong. The USMLEs have gotten really good at testing many of these diseases in strange ways to throw people off. I make so many integrations here so you’re very well prepared for whatever comes your way on test day.
DIP Ep 627: The Clutch Herpes Podcast (Step 1-3), Part B
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.

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 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 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.

In this podcast, I go over a large number of usual and unusual microbiology associations that show up frequently on the USMLE and COMLEX exams.

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.
