In this short podcast, I address these “different domains” so you’re able to tackle them easily on your test. Definitely worth a listen. Email me if you’re interested in the 20 hr Step 2/3 class starting tomorrow.

Divine Intervention Episode 515: Ventilator Physiology Part 2 (for Step 1-3)
This podcast is a continuation of Episode 65 which was an introduction to ventilator physiology. In Part 2, I focus on CPAP and PEEP while making tons of integrations with how they affect multiple pulmonary and cardiovascular parameters. This is a classic source of “physiology arrow questions” on the USMLE exams. I also end with a life lesson on fulfilling your dreams the right way.

OSA is commonly tested on the USMLE exams. But they also love using this as a topic to hit a bunch of other concepts that people do not think about. In this podcast, I address these concepts and also make a solid effort to help you understand the material.

This podcast is incredibly HY. The esophagus is very heavily tested on all the USMLE exams.

Divine Intervention Episode 459: The Clutch STI Podcast (for Step 1-3)

Divine Intervention Episode 429: ICU Series Part 2-Crystalloid Solutions
In this podcast, I continue the ICU series from Episode 416 with a discussion of crystalloids (normal saline, lactated ringers, and plasmalyte).

I also discuss some perils of giving these fluids and the mechanisms behind these perils. I will be discussing colloids in another podcast.
