Divine Intervention Episode 77 – Gram Positive Rapid Review.

In this episode, I review all the HY USMLE information related to the gram positive organisms highlighted in the gram +ve chart in FA for the USMLE Step 1 (2019). This would be a good podcast to listen to before a micro quiz/exam/USMLE Step 1. The primary purpose of this was to provide a medium that would pull everything together for the listener prior to a micro exam. There are no attached slides. For a detailed discussion of the antibiotics, consider listening to Episodes 27-28, 33-35. Note that these episodes cover all antibiotics that could reasonably be tested on the USMLEs broken down by class (antibacterials etc etc).

Divine Intervention Episode 76 – How To Study For The USMLE Step 1 Exam (for M1s and M2s).

In this podcast, I go into a detailed discussion of the USMLE Step 1 including exam structure, study resources, and specific recommendations that should help with doing well on the test. Lengthy podcast but well worth your time in the end. You should also strongly consider Episode 62 especially if you are a medical student/about to start medical school. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 75 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Board Review Series 2 (Endocrinology)

In this podcast, I continue our review by going over a vast majority of the endocrinology that is potentially testable on these exams while integrating multiple disciplines. I plan to have one more podcast where I finish up my discussion of endocrine to essentially form a thorough endocrinology review for the highlighted exams. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 74 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Board Review Series 1

In this podcast (series 1 of many to come), I begin to discuss topics that are targeted primarily towards residents preparing for the USMLE Step 3 exam and the Internal Medicine In Training Exam (ITE). This would also potentially help with the medicine boards but that is not my primary focus with this podcast. I utilize a format where I present a classic vignette, highlight the diagnosis, spend an extended period discussing the testable information relating to the diagnosis (and related diseases), and then give some HY info at the end relating to tests that should be ordered (especially for the CCS portion of Step 3). There are no attached slides as all information is in the podcast.

Divine Intervention Episode 72 – Endocrine Physiology and Pharmacology Part 1

A good discussion of endocrine pharmacology is almost impossible without a discussion of endocrine physiology. In this podcast, I discuss endocrine pharmacology but the great majority of the time is spent discussing Ca, thyroid, and insulin physiology. There are also some quality biochemistry and pathology tie-ins. For Ca physiology, I spend a lot of time discussing classic exam scenarios and associated physiologic parameter changes. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 71 – Oncology Pharm Part 2 (Final Part/Cell Biology Episode)

In this podcast, I conclude our discussion of oncology pharm by highlighting a wide variety of HY drugs that are classically tested on exams. There’s a lot of HY cell biology in this podcast so I will encourage you to listen to this podcast even if you feel comfortable with these drugs. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 70 – Oncology Pharm For The USMLEs Part 1

In this episode, I discuss a lot of the HY pharmacology related to the anti-cancer agents. There’s some HY integration with biochemistry, micro, and cell biology. There are no attached slides as all necessary information is in the podcast.

This is a continuation of Episode 44 where I begin to discuss anatomy as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 Exam. I would take the scenarios very seriously as these are very commonly tested. Slides attached.
