Start with AJmonics' neurology review (200 questions), Mehlman's heme-onc playlist, Divine Intervention on the Free 120 and infectious disease, my antimicrobials in under 90 minutes, Dirty Medicine's ethics playlist with Divine Intervention, Dr. High Yield's internal medicine and pediatrics reviews, Action Potential Mentoring, and Rahul Damania's top NBME images. Each one belongs to a specific phase of your prep.
Read this first1 rule before you press play: watch each one when it belongs, not all at once. Play the Free 120 discussion before you've solved the Free 120 yourself, and you've spent the most predictive test you have. The line under each video tells you when.
