In this episode, I continue our discussion of Neuro as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 Exam with a HY discussion of the ANS, somatic NS, neural crest/glial cells, and some HY pathologies/lesions. There are no attached slides as the clinical case scenarios are embedded with my discussion. I would definitely prioritize knowing the info in this podcast before you take your exam.
Given the fact that this podcast series is likely going to be used by M4’s/residents, I will start making the Step 3/ABIM/MITE series shorter so you can get in some studying if you have a 15-20 min break or have a drive to the hospital. In view of this, there will be many more podcasts for this series (and I will start making them more frequently). There are no attached slides. In this episode, I detail essentially everything you need to know about meningitis for these 3 exams. One important tidbit I forgot to mention is giving IV Dexamethasone about 15 mins before starting abx therapy if you suspect S. Pneumo as the offending organism. You do this for 4 days. There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I begin a discussion of Neuro as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 Exam. My ultimate goal is to cover all the HY info in FA. In this podcast, I discuss neuro embryology and some HY diseases. There are attached slides.
In this podcast, I discuss some general rules that will be especially useful for interns functioning on the floors in an internal medicine capacity. I would listen to this a few times before you start or while you’re in residency. I discuss a host of strategies that can increase your chances of having a banner intern year (and also avoid common pitfalls that place interns in trouble). There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I conclude our discussion of hematology and oncology as relevant to the USMLE Step 1. When taken together (Podcast 1-6) with the heme/onc pharm podcasts, you should have a complete review of the HY testable material relevant to the USMLE Step 1 from FA for the USMLE Step 1 2019 edition. There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I begin a series that has been requested by many listeners in the past. Basically, the goal is to pick HY topics from 7-10 USMLE disciplines and discuss them in mechanistic, presentation, and test taking detail after introduction as a clinical case. For example, this episode reviews nice amounts of heme-onc, micro, renal, pharm, biochem, psych, repro, derm, and other minor topics in a rapid revision format. If I get good feedback on this, I would consider making many more iterations of the series. There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I continue our discussion of Heme-Onc as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 with a focus on all the major anemias (with a few exceptions for the next podcast). I utilize multiple modalities to test the same concept as a means of encouraging retention. In view of this, there are attached slides with questions that you can follow through with as you listen to the audio file. There will be 1 more podcast targeted to Heme-Onc and that should conclude the series.
Divine Intervention Episode 83 Heme-Onc Review for The USMLE Step 1 (Part 5)
In this episode, I conclude our discussion of Oncology as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 Exam with a discourse relating to the leukemias and lymphomas. There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I continue our discussion of Heme-Onc as relevant to the USMLE Step 1. This podcast focuses on the hematologic malignancies that are not leukemias or lymphomas (those will be discussed in other podcasts). There are no attached slides.
In this episode, I continue our discussion of hematology as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 and largely conclude my discussion of platelets and their disorders. I also discuss some weird “systemic” diseases with hematologic findings that tend to show up on the USMLEs. Between Episodes 79/80, you should become a platelet expert. You can safely skip parts of the podcast where I begin to go into the pathophysiology underlying APLS. However, it may be a useful explanation for those thirsty for more understanding. I am also adding a small slide supplement that essentially describes APLS pathophysiology/testing in words.
