In this podcast, which is a sequel to the risk factors and preventive medicine podcast, I spend time focusing on a new area of NBME interest which are the “most important prognostic factors, complications, physical exam findings, predictors of survival, etc etc”. I also discuss some other risk factors and then spend time at the end highlighting malignancies associated with infectious agents. This podcast is short, but floridly high yield. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 96 – USMLE Step 1 Rapid Review Series 5 (Neuro)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 1 with a primary focus on the classic, HY presentations of neuro pathologies on NBMEs. Note that this is different from the comprehensive neuro review that I have been working on. Note that these rapid reviews are nice ways to get tons of questions correct on your test AND also review lots of material in a short period of time. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 95 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 2 (Peds)
In this episode, I go over a large number of HY case scenarios for the USMLE Step 2CK exam in a rapid review format. As discussed earlier, these “rapid review” podcasts focus almost entirely on the specific ways concepts are presented on NBME exams. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 94 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 1 (Peds)
In this episode, I begin a rapid review series (like I have for Step 1) that is targeted towards the USMLE Step 2CK exam. The goal of these rapid review series is to highlight the classic ways the NBME presents certain concepts in test questions. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 93 – USMLE Step 1 Rapid Review Series 4 (Endocrine)
In this continuation of our rapid review series, I discuss a host of HY concepts relevant to the USMLE Step 1 with a big focus on endocrinology. I integrate a ton of pathology, pharm, neuro, psych, biochem, cell biology, and physiology here. This is a super HY podcast. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 92 – USMLE Step 1 Rapid Review Series 3 (Neuro)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 1 Exam with a focus on neurological disease. Note that this is apart from the comprehensive neuro series that I will be continuing that is targeted towards the exam. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 91 – USMLE Anatomy Series 3 (Vascular Anatomy)
In this episode I detail HY vascular anatomy (arteries) relating to the head, chest, and GI tract with respect to the USMLE Step 1 Exam. This is one of those must listen to podcasts before you take your Step 1 Exam. There is so much HY stuff on here. Draw it out, include the exam correlations in your diagrams, and make absolute certain you commit this stuff to memory. I promise you, it’s HY. There are no attached slides.
Quick correction: Paget Schroetter disease is a DVT of the subclavian/axillary vein. Mistakenly said axillary artery in the podcast.
Divine Intervention Episode 90 – USMLE Step 1 Rapid Review Series 2 (Neuro)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 1 Exam with a focus on neurology. Note that this is apart from the more detailed neuro review series I just started. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 89 – USMLE Step 1 Neuro Review 2
In this episode, I continue our discussion of Neuro as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 Exam with a HY discussion of the ANS, somatic NS, neural crest/glial cells, and some HY pathologies/lesions. There are no attached slides as the clinical case scenarios are embedded with my discussion. I would definitely prioritize knowing the info in this podcast before you take your exam.
Divine Intervention Episode 88 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Review Series 3 (Meningitis)
Given the fact that this podcast series is likely going to be used by M4’s/residents, I will start making the Step 3/ABIM/MITE series shorter so you can get in some studying if you have a 15-20 min break or have a drive to the hospital. In view of this, there will be many more podcasts for this series (and I will start making them more frequently). There are no attached slides. In this episode, I detail essentially everything you need to know about meningitis for these 3 exams. One important tidbit I forgot to mention is giving IV Dexamethasone about 15 mins before starting abx therapy if you suspect S. Pneumo as the offending organism. You do this for 4 days. There are no attached slides.
