Mnemonics for CYP450 Drugs:
Inducers (ASMR): Anticonvulsants, St John Warts, Modafinil, Rifampin
Inhibitors (ABCDE): Antimicrobials (lots), Belly (Omeprazol, Cimetidine), Cardio (Amiodarone, Calcium channel blockers), Depression (SSRIs), Extra (Grapefruit juice)
Omg these mnemonics are gold
Could you plz make high yield step2 review videos
I don't know if you'll ever realize the level of anxiety this video just quelled. Even though I clearly have a lot to review and understand nitty-gritty, this overview gave me hope and took me out of a pretty dark spot mentally! Thanks so much Santiago!!
I completely second this. This is gold when it comes to the limited time to pass step 1.
Disclaimers / Corrections:
I came up with this list through my personal experience: having answered around 15.000 questions from more than 5 qbanks + experience with the real deal, so it's not like any official list taken from the USMLE. I'll be adding in this comment any other extremely high yield topic I didn't think off while making this list:
1. In 30:07 it was supposed to say Cherry Red MACULA: NOT HEMANGIOMA.
2. For Immunology: CGD is also a very high yield primary immunodeficiency
3. In cardio: other High Yield ECGs: WPW and Hyperkalemia
4. Most of embryology is included in the other systems (example neonatal ARDS)... I’d just add pharyngeal pouches/arches, and embryological origins (Ex. They give you an adrenal insufficiency case and ask from which embryological layer or structure are the adrenals derived)
15000? That's nuts
@@nghiapham1756 Actually, fairly typical if you are serious about learning medicine, and serious about USMLE, not extreme at all. What else would one do? Videos? Flash cards? Mnemonics? I have known some that knew such material inside and out and could not answer a proper clinical question to save their life. ;)
What question banks did you answer? And how long did it take you to answer those 15000 Qs? Great vid btw!!
Santiago nbme base is 170 i have a really weak base can't remember everything right after doing pathoma for example UW avg is 40 test (25% done) test by January will this work for me
@@FernandoChaves Although you commented months ago, this hit home. While I'm not going to be taking the USMLE for a long while, I've been a student instructor for Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophys; I recently started practicing USMLE questions to see how well I do with what I've already mastered. Needless to say, while I've averaged about 70% in my current test bank, it was humbling. Facts just don't equal application. Now I've been focusing on clinical questions and my confidence in my answers has greatly improved and thankfully my accuracy.
Just in time Santiago. So grateful 🙏🏻
OMG!! This was so helpful. Thankyou so much for doing this. Really grateful 🙏🏽
Much needed ! Thanks!
Just found your page and wanted to say you are a God sent! Thank you so much for taking out the time to help us. It really means so much!

Thank you Dr for putting such sincere effort for us
Wow thanks again, super high yield video! Will definitely be returning to watch this as I go through systems and at least once more near the end. It also put into perspective how many things I still have to study with only 2.5 more months before dedicated.... guess I better get to work
Thank you so much! This was very helpful
Tysm.Amazing content and super helpful. Really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this!!

So much helpful ❤️
Thank you very helpful ❤️
Such an amazing video!!!!
Thank you so much bro
Your videos are greaat, love uu ❤
I took the exam! MOST of my exam questions were from these. You have to know all the associations with the disease in a SYSTEMATIC manner and not just the disease itself.
Around how much percent appeared in exam and what to keep in mind preparing for it??
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER !!!!!! THANKYOU
Giving exam in a month. this is very helpful.Thanks alot for your effort.🙏
thankyou so mch ! this helped me alot !
Thank you so much. ❤️
Really appreciate ♥️♥️
Santiago! I'm a fellow in peds heme/onc and clinical informatics and boy did I wish I had this knowledge while I was in medical school. You are incredible and honestly have a gift! Would love to partner with you to lecture students at IUSM if you're interested.
Greetings from Kampala, Uganda. I am trying to do my research before I start to study.. I find your video enlightening on what to focus on and how to learn it with clinically oriented approach.. thanks a lot.
Thank uuu soo much.. much needed
Great video! Please Make a similar video with highest yield topics for step 2CK.
First time in this channel, only 2 minutes in the video, simply love his way of thinking. I subscribed and liked his video extremely fast. Im taking my Step 1 in 2 months.
sheytoon!!
Thank you doctor really helpful
Thank you
You're the best mentor in usmle field
Thank you so much for this video! I am about to enter my dedicated period and this helped me feel just a little bit less anxious over the sheer amount of content!
i'm at the last 2 weeks of my dedicated. what a joy ride :) remember take care of yourself, the knowledge will come but at the end its a mental battle. be kind to yourself and you will rock this exam
@@Lechu1982 Thank you so much! I'm finishing my first week of dedicated now and your kind words mean so much :)
Very helpful 👌
He's the kind of a guy who will leave you motivated after hanging out with him!
Thanks for sharing...it helps alot....please upload short videos of topics so that its easy to remember...thanks for ur efforts
What you did is really impressive, the effort is incredible and much appreciated. I think you should make a list of the most high yield videos from pathoma and boards and beyond. a list of what videos to study before taking the exam.
Those topics make the list, what are you waiting for !!!
Yes, it would be really helpful.
Santiago, you are a savior. God bless you
this channel is awesome
Wow.....this is really amazing!!!!
I'm writing the Step 1 in 3wks time and this is really helpful
God bless you man!!
How did it go?
Thank you so much..!!
Thanks a lot for this content.Love it.
Sir this video is so much useful ... thanks for making such useful videos ...
I request u to make one more video for step 2 high yield topics 😊
I will be so thankful to you 😊
Thank You
mil gracias!!!!
I will add embryology , embryological origins like mesodermal, ectodermal ,etc . I always jump on question that could be a histological pictures and they said it is a mesodermal derivated or something like that
You’re totally right! I’ll add that to the disclaimers, thanks!!!
Million likes 👍🙏 thank you Dr. Santiago 👌🙏
Wowww, thank u sooo much ...
Thanks for the video. I am wondering if you have done a similar video for the important topics on step 2 CK exam ?
HELPFUL
Thankyou❤
Thanks a lot for ur video … pls could u include pathology high yield
Great study plan. Will try it then i show you my results! you are amazing!
Have you tried ?
@@ahmedsafaa1999 no time at all to do it
MUCHAS GRACIAS 🙏🏻 q bien 👍🏻
You the best!
Santiago can you please make a Highest-Yield Topics For The USMLE Step 2? Thank you so much for everything you do
So I clicked on this video just because I was taking a break from studying and wanted to watch something while eating. I found your voice to be monotone and I don't mean it in a bad way, perhaps I should use "MELO" instead, so that made me go into "autopilot" right away until I heard you say "A LOT OF FUCKING TREES" lmfaooo this brought back my attention to you sooo quick lollllll. Anyways I believe that things shouldn't be taken "TOO serious" and there should be a balance. This is why you caught my attention back into the video. I am so grateful that you shared your knowledge with us. This made me super happy. Thank you once again.
Hello Dr. Santiago;
Kindly could you put the important topics for step 2 CK ?
You are a legend bro.. Every time I encounter our seniors, they would confuse me by their ugly ideas about usmle.. After listening to u, it looks familiar..
Hi, anyone who took the step 1 recently? What do you think are the high yields you have encountered? or any repetitive high yield topics?
We are gonna need a vid for STEP 2-CK topics...
Hey..please make one such list for step 2 as well
How would you prioritize each module? This is also important to know, I know that for example Cardio is going to be more common to be asked than Psych, but there are some that I don’t know if they’re more important than others.
Hope you also make for step 2ck
would it be too much to ask you make a document of these lists for us?
For biochemistry, what is your approach in learning these diseases? Do you recommend memorising all the pathways with all the enzymes etc? Quite a lot of pathways to get through in addition to the high yield ones mentioned in the video...
Can you please make a write up for Step 2? My step 1 score was low and would love to hear more about your specific study plan
yes please step2!
Hi Santiago, do you have a similar tip/content for STEP 2 CK? Tks!
I am thanking God for bringing u into my life! ❤
can you please do the same video for CK?? pleaseee! step 1 is becoming pass fail so now more emphasis is on CK, thank you!
Is there any updated version of this? For USMLE step 1 2024?
Can you do one of these for STEP2 please!?
Hey! Really appreciate your efforts that you've put.
A quick question should we use this as an 'Index' or as a 'Checklist'?
It really depends on your goal, timing, and specific set of conditions. However I do believe that aiming to use it as a checklist could be more helpful. Mostly because reviewing it in this way will feel like "I know most, so I'll concentrate of the few things I don't" instead of "Fuck, this is still too much"
Hey Santiago, thanks for your helpful videos! I read your google doc write up and was wondering, where did you find the older NBME exams?
hey where can i find his write up? i would like to read his experience.
Hello Santiago, thank you so much for the amazing video; I will keep this in mind in my approach to step 1. Please, what resources do you recommend for studying action potential, especially in neurons and nerves? I more than appreciate any help. Best regards.
I'd probably try with Osmosis or Physeo videos, they are usually great at explaining those kind of topics. If not available, maybe I'd try reading CRUSH you can download it from here (if it doesn't get flagged) drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wS94NyZCPtGjgU1n7RbgoeJ5Fe959-K8
Hands down for the best tip! Helped allot, actually i did jotting down the common topics while i was doing uworld
You are damn right!
P.s - i never used to comment in youtube.
Kudos🤘
hi can you share the topics?
@@Glycam hi, topics are same that he referenced in this video! What he said is true!
@@T-Totler cool thanks. My exam is in January before pass and fail and I feel so overwhelmed
My study style is also high volume of questions. Which question bank do you recommend for step 1? I have already done pastest and rx and 1500 of bnb q bank. I have kaplan, amboss, and uworld right now. Any other qbanks that might worth doing?
God's work right here. THANK YOU.
