This podcast is an oddball podcast. But it also happens to be one of my highest yield podcasts. I discuss how NBME Qs differ materially from Qbank Qs. Understanding this can really help with guiding your study and test taking processes. Certainly a helpful listen for any USMLE exam taker.

In this podcast, I discuss many of the HY skin and soft tissue infections you need to know for your exam. Easy points if you devote time to learning them. Quick errata: for leprosy, the lepromatous form is a TH2 issue, the tuberculoid form is a TH1 issue. I mixed the numbers up in the podcast. My apologies.

This podcast is an oddball podcast. But you know what? It’s pretty HY to know this stuff for Step 2CK and 3.

I also discuss some test taking principles and wisdom related to how the USMLEs set up exam questions and answer choices. Worth your while for sure!
