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.
