How to prepare for USMLE Step 1 ethics questions Start by learning the basic rules. First Aid, Boards & Beyond videos, and others cover these well. Know what autonomy means. Know the components of informed consent. Know not to treat friends or family unless it’s an emergency.

This is the way to combat vaccine misinformation. Post links to the RCTs. Anyone who disagrees has to find fault with the data. As it should be.

Ok, Indiana Pacers … I am starting to believe.

Jason Ryan Basically if you do this you’re sorted for step 2 and 3 too!

In the category of "Not all heroes wear capes"... Dr. Peter Gates is an Australian neurologist who wrote the original 2005 paper on the Rule of 4s for localizing brainstem lesions. I first read this paper around 2012 while coaching med students. It was so helpful that I used it

2025 problems: How will program directors know that the applicant on their screen during a remote interview is not an AI? You can make it look and speak like yourself from what I have been told.

DM me a screenshot of your hardest, most challenging ethics and patient communication questions. I will review them and do either a Tweetorial or short Youtube video on some of these.

Hope tonight’s NBA finals game is as competitive as the last ones. This has been a great series.

Pacers down by 14 points at halftime. So … pretty much following the usual script for their wins this post season.

Good win for OKC. 🙏 we get a game 7.

Program Directors from all over the nation have received an Email from ECFMG telling them that “the U.S. Department of State has lifted the pause on new visa appointments, and J-1 physicians have been explicitly prioritized for visa interview scheduling”! Congratulations
