In this podcast, I discuss ANS drugs as tested on Step 2 and 3. This drug class makes its way into many USMLE Qs. Many students struggle with it because they don’t know what matters and what is less important (compared to Step 1 material). This podcast fixes that issue handily. Lots of free points on your exam here.
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).

In this podcast, I discuss a host of renal and hematology related concepts that are frequently tested on the USMLE Step 2 and 3 exams. I discuss some complicated tests that people often find to be confusing and make integrations with other subjects. Finally, I discuss one of the thought processes that goes into the USMLEs generating questions.
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.
DIP Ep 604: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 123
In this podcast, I discuss a series of topics that can be best classified under “Multisystems Processes and Disorders”. I tie in lots of commonly tested basic science concepts and also spend time on some good gamesmanship to show you how to analyze answer choices.
DIP Ep 603: The Pathway To A High Score On Step 3 (A Deep Discussion)
In this podcast (similar to Ep 573 and 591 for Step 2 and 1 respectively), I discuss a detailed plan that can be easily adapted to study for the USMLE Step 3 (or Level 3) exams. I literally go day by day and explain different considerations to keep at the back of your mind in getting set for the test. Definitely worth your time and attention. For those interested in the classes beginning next week, email me through the website and I can give you some more information.
DIP Ep 602: Endocrine Thinking (Stimulation and Suppression Tests)
In this high yield podcast, I discuss confirmatory testing for a host of endocrine related pathologies.

DIP Ep 600: Intuition and Integrations With Select Equations (Step 1-3)
In this podcast, I take 2 equations that commonly show up on all the USMLE exams, make them intuitive, and then proceed to discuss numerous (> 20) different ways they can be tested. These equations should feel a lot more logical after you listen to this. Very HY stuff here. I hope to make more podcasts like this in the near future.
