In this high yield podcast, I discuss confirmatory testing for a host of endocrine related pathologies. The USMLEs love to test these in familiar and unfamiliar situations that occasionally step out of classic norms. I highlight a few of these scenarios and permutations so you’re well versed and ready to tackle whatever presents on your exam (especially arrows and what certain strange results mean).

There are lots of Fe based concepts that the USMLEs routinely test (Step 1-3). Having a good foundation is very helpful in nailing these questions on your exam.

Divine Intervention Episode 321 – The Clutch Metabolic Acidosis Podcast (for all USMLEs).
Metabolic acidosis is a floridly HY topic to know and understand for all the USMLE exams. Unfortunately, many people struggle with it and resort solely to memorizing lists of differentials which is not ideal. Do you want to conceptually understand metabolic acidosis (both high and normal anion gap) and see it’s integrations with multiple disciplines? If yes, this podcast accomplishes just that. The final fact I wanted to mention but forgot is that anion gap increases with age. There are no attached slides.
