About this listen

The Rx Bricks podcast from USMLE-Rx and ScholarRx is designed to help you master medical school. Each episode is an audio version of one of our revolutionary Rx Bricks, which are short, high-yield, interactive learning modules. Each week, we present a new audiobrick based on an important basic science topic (e.g., pressure-volume loops) or clinical concept (e.g., ischemic heart disease).

    Join us for this special edition of the Rx Bricks Podcast, featuring a complete Rx Question Lab session designed to help medical students master high-yield neurological concepts for USMLE Step 1.

    In this interactive session, we work through four challenging board-style questions that cover essential neurology topics, including speech disorders, genetic syndromes affecting the nervous system, stroke recognition, and neurological pain conditions. Learn systematic approaches to neuroanatomy questions and develop the clinical reasoning skills needed to tackle even the most complex neurology scenarios on Step 1.

    Dr. Titus, a hematology/oncology fellow at the University of South Alabama, provides expert explanations that connect basic neuroanatomical concepts with clinical presentations, helping you understand not just the correct answers but the underlying pathophysiology.

    Whether you’re struggling with neuroanatomy or looking to refine your knowledge of neurological disorders, this Question Lab offers practical strategies and insights that will boost your confidence on exam day.
