USMLE Step 1

There are so many ways our friends at the NBMEs test musculoskeletal pathologies. In this podcast, I discuss the elbow, neck, and back. I emphasize the specific things you need to know along with the different “decision permutations” that throw people off on the exam. Very, very, very HY to know this stuff especially for the recent exams.

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.
