CHASE DIMARCO
About this episode

Chase DiMarco discusses his new book, the board exams, and helps learners get into a Board Examiner mentality.

In this second edition of our podcast mini-series, we cover Part 2 of Read This Before Medical School. This section covers the board exams to a greater extent and aims to help learners get into a Board Examiner mentality. We briefly cover the history of the NBME.

Our unique MedEdge Method is a concise and powerful tool for exam success. It is comprised of three parts: the Basic Exam Technique, the Tie-Breaker Technique, and the Post-exam Autopsy. These skills can be developed early in a learner’s academic career and carried on through their board exams and specialty exams.

Having a method to monitor mistakes, guidance to correcting mistakes, and knowing how to overcome obstacles during your studies and exams will greatly reduce stress during test day!
