Numerical acid base problems that require picking out the exact disorder and appropriate compensation show up on essentially every USMLE exam. In this podcast, I discuss a simple, but accurate approach to correctly answering these questions from an NBME/USMLE. This is one of those podcasts you should take notes on and listen through slowly. It is not too long, but it will certainly help you score wise on your test.

Divine Intervention Episode 450: The Clutch Hypernatremia Podcast (for Step 1-3)
Hypernatremia is very commonly tested on all the USMLE exams. If you want to understand the pathophysiology of hypernatremia, this podcast is what you need. I even discuss the reasoning behind why one treatment comes before the other so you’re not just blindly memorizing some algorithm you learnt somewhere.
Divine Intervention Episode 411: The Clutch Sarcoidosis Podcast
Sarcoidosis is a common multi system pathology tested on all the USMLE/COMLEX exams. In this short podcast, I elaborate on what you need to know, describe pathophysiology, and make integrations with different body systems.
Divine Intervention Episode 367 – The Clutch Amyloidosis Podcast (for Step 1-3)
In this short but extremely HY podcast, I discuss the vast majority of what you need to know in relation to amyloidosis for all the USMLE exams. Please listen to this podcast before you take any USMLE 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.
Divine Intervention Episode 169 – The Clutch Nephrotic/Nephritic Syndrome Podcast.
In this podcast, I cover everything you can ever wish to know/understand about the HY nephrotic and nephritic syndromes that show up on Step 1, 2CK, 3, and the IM exams. I very rapidly cover the material in different layers and discuss classic findings, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, treatment, and pathophysiology to help with really cementing the material. You’ll have to work incredibly hard to ever get any nephrotic/nephritic syndrome question wrong on pretty much any medical exam after listening to this. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 26 – USMLE Radiology.
In this episode, I go over very high yield radiographic imaging “signs” that classically show up on the USMLEs. Super HY for all the USMLEs. Slides attached.Divine Intervention Episode 26-USMLE Radiology
Divine Intervention Episode 17 – Diseases of The Pediatric Population Part 1.
In today’s episode, I discuss a flurry of HY diseases that commonly show up in the pediatric population on exams (Step 1-3, Peds Shelf, OBGYN Shelf). I would encourage you to master/memorize everything discussed here. They are VERY COMMONLY tested. Slides attached.Divine Intervention Episode 17 Diseases of The Pediatric Population Part 1
