  1. DIP Ep 678: The Extremely Clutch USPSTF Podcast (Part 2)

    Show notes

    I take a very different approach from most to explain the USPSTF guidelines in this podcast. I provide mechanisms, logic, and integration that makes it feel like an easy to understand subject than a bucket list to memorize. Super HY stuff for all the USMLE and COMLEX exams! I also integrate some strange but HY items like GAD-7, AUDIT-C, etc. I specifically try to emphasize traps that get many people down on these exams.

  2. 25 Hour Step 1 Basic Science Review (Starts Nov 2, 2026)

    Show notes

    In this short podcast, I discuss the upcoming 25 Hour USMLE Step 1 Basic Science Review starting at 6 pm EST each day from 11/2-6, 2026 over zoom. The review will be incredibly clinical, focus on integrations, help you understand pathophysiology, and expose you to a large amount of the Step 1 content. This class is also intended for folks taking Step 2 and 3 needing a refresher on their basic science foundations. Many taking Step 2 and 3 find this class to be very helpful given its large basic science coverage.

  3. Comprehensive 20 Hour Step 2/3 Review (October 26-30, 2026)

    Show notes

    Watching lectures at 2x feels productive, but the NBME doesn’t test what you’ve watched. It tests what you can pull out of your own head under pressure.

    In this episode, I walk through every class I teach for Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3 and COMLEX, and why none of them are lectures. Every class is built on active recall: clinical vignettes, graphs, tables and arrow questions, presented the way the NBME presents them. You fill in a workbook live, we integrate across subjects, and we cover high-yield material most resources skip.

    You’ll also hear about the new rapid review sheets that come with the 20-hour course, the Biostatistics Boot Camp and the Social Sciences and Ethics class. They’re organized by the USMLE content outline and built for the last few days before your exam.
