There are a series of spinal cord disorders that are not addressed in many review resources but have an uncanny ability to show up on all the USMLE exams. In this podcast, I collate these disorders together, discuss their classic presentations, emphasize differences between them, and also try to explain relevant pathophysiology where necessary. I also make a bunch of integrations with other disciplines.

In this podcast, I delve deep into specific reasons why people perform poorly on their USMLE exams. I obviously don’t know it all but I encourage you to keep an open mind and see how some of this information may apply to you. This podcast applies to almost any exam as well.

This podcast is technically part of the rapid review series for Step 2/3. But there’s a twist here. I spend time discussing concepts, explaining pathophysiology, and showing integrations. But beyond this, I spend a decent amount of time talking about thought processes you should have if you plan to be successful with taking the newer USMLE exams. There’ll be a podcast coming soon on why people fail the USMLE exams and why there’s an increased number of failures.

LFTs show up in one way or the other on practically every USMLE exam. In this podcast, I lay a solid foundation and use numerous vignettes and conceptual integrations to help you understand the material. This should help tremendously with these questions on test day. I delve into some concepts that are not found in many resources but occasionally show up on the test. Another recommended podcast in this series is Ep 257 on bilirubin. Email me via the website if you would love to join the USMLE classes taking place this week.

In this podcast, I discuss a host of high yield material from many disciplines that show up on the USMLEs. I also spend time on some basic science details revolving around the immune system that are Step 2/3 worthy. I end with a life lesson on “moving on”.

Since this is the 500th episode, I decided to make a super HY review that will benefit any USMLE or COMLEX test taker (Step 1-3 or COMLEX 1-3).

Email me if you’re interested in any of the January review classes. On to episode 501!

A major determinant of your performance on the USMLE exams lies in how your dedicated period is constructed. In this podcast, I begin a deep dive into very practical principles that can help with properly structuring your dedicated period. I will continue this discussion in Ep 499. Definitely worthwhile if you are going to have a dedicated period in the future or are currently in one and not doing very well.
