How to score HIGH on USMLE / Personal finance in medicine -

I hosted my good friend Patrick LeFevre to reveal his study & prep secrets that earned him a 100th percentile score on USMLE Step 1 (264) and Step 2 CK (280).

We also discuss the overlooked importance of personal finance in medicine, and get a bit sidetracked talking about football, dogs and other things. Enjoy!
