While this may be a rapid review podcast, I spend the entire time discussing different receptors and how they are integrated from a pharmacology and pathology perspective specifically for Step 2/3. The USMLEs now focus quite well on some basic science concepts from Step 1 directly on the Step 2CK/3 exams. This podcast addresses a classic area where they exploit this particular issue. Listen to this stuff AND know it well.

Divine Intervention Episode 500: USMLE Rapid Review Series 108 (For Step 1-3)
Since this is the 500th episode, I decided to make a super HY review that will benefit any USMLE or COMLEX test taker (Step 1-3 or COMLEX 1-3). I spend tons of time on cardiac pressures and make lots of integrations across multiple disciplines. Thank you for your support so far with the website and I wish you a happy new year. Email me if you’re interested in any of the January review classes. On to episode 501!
Divine Intervention Episode 496: Aortic regurgitation and some USMLE integrations
Understanding the hemodynamic consequences and cardiovascular parameters in aortic regurgitation is a tough pill to swallow for many people. In this short podcast, I address this question and also make common NBME integrations with this topic (like cardiac output, pulse pressures, systemic pressures, renin-angiotensin-system, etc). I explain all the pathophysiology step by step so you can truly understand what’s going on.
Divine Intervention Episode 490: The Clutch TEE Podcast
When do I get a TEE instead of a TTE is an age old question asked by many medical students while being heavily tested on all the USMLE exams. In this short podcast, I examine exactly what you need to know to get those pesky questions right. I also end with a short life lesson at the end.
Divine Intervention Episode 486: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 103
In this short podcast, I go over some weird nuances with mitral/aortic disorders. I spend quite a bit of time discussing management and “pertinent arrows” related to these issues that could give people trouble on exams.
Divine Intervention Episode 477: The Clutch Acute Coronary Syndromes Podcast
The USMLEs love their acute coronary syndromes. This stuff also shows up on multiple shelf exams. This podcast goes on a deep, high yield dive into this topic and emphasizes common exam scenarios that should help you garner easy points.
Divine Intervention Episode 474: Beta-1 Receptors and the USMLEs (Step 1-3)
In this podcast, we continue our detailed discussion of the adrenergic receptors with a deep dive into the beta 1 receptor and the many different contexts it’s tested in on the USMLE exams. Don’t sleep on this podcast. A lot of what I discuss here shows up routinely on all the USMLEs.
Divine Intervention Episode 472: Alpha-2 Receptors and the USMLEs (Step 1-3)
Alpha 2 receptors are tested in a surprisingly large number of contexts on all the USMLE exams. This podcast makes integrations that should help you nail these questions. I end with a short life lesson applicable to many people in medicine.
Divine Intervention Episode 471: Alpha-1 Receptors and The USMLEs (Step 1-3)
Adrenergic receptors have a weird way of showing up in many different contexts on the USMLE exams. In this podcast, I spend time breaking down alpha-1 adrenergic receptors and the many different contexts/dimensions the NBMEs choose to take with them on the USMLE exams. Pretty HY stuff here.
Divine Intervention Episode 465: Cardiovascular Parameters 2 (Venous Return and Preload)
In this ultra HY podcast, I use a large number of scenarios to illustrate exactly what venous return/preload are. I discuss the different things that affect them. Enjoy!
