In this series, I will be discussing pharmacology purely from a Step 2 and 3 perspective. For those studying for Step 1, use the Step 1 specific pharmacology podcasts I have. In this series, we start off discussing the drugs used for the primary control of pain like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioids and the diverse ways our friends at the USMLEs love to test them. See you in the next podcast.

Divine Intervention Episode 475: Beta 2/3 Receptors and the USMLEs (for Step 1-3)
In this concluding podcast relating to the adrenergic receptors, I discuss the beta 2 and 3 receptors and how they are tested on the USMLE exams. Lots of helpful integrations here for easy points. I end with a short life lesson as well.
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 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 443: The Clutch Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Podcast (for Step 1-3)
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors come in many flavors. They are also very heavily tested on the USMLE exams. The goal of this podcast is to give you the requisite understanding and basically expose you to all the ways these concepts are routinely tested. This podcast will certainly help you muster some easy points on your exam.
Divine Intervention Episode 433: Adverse Drug Reactions for The USMLE exams Part 2 (Step 1-3)
In this super HY podcast, I discuss a host of commonly tested adverse drug reactions around the blood elements (RBCs, WBCs, platelets). These things show up on almost every USMLE exam. It is a continuation of Episode 387 on the website. If you’re interested in helping with the transcription of my Step 1 podcasts, reach out to Lukasz Adamczyk at lukaszdadamczyk@gmail.com. Have a happy new year and a prosperous 2023!
Divine Intervention Episode 432: Pharmacology Blitz
In this short podcast, I make a concerted effort to discuss lots of commonly tested drugs and associated pathology, pathophysiology, and necessary integrations in a short time frame. This should easily net you some nice points on test day.
Divine Intervention Episode 398 – Some Pharmacology Scenarios For Step 2/3
In this short podcast, I address some classic pharmacology scenarios that people routinely struggle with on USMLE exams. I take the time to carefully explain the underlying pathophysiology where appropriate so you’re not stuck memorizing mindless details.
Divine Intervention Episode 387 – Adverse Drug Reactions for Step 2CK/3
In this super HY podcast, I address a large number of the adverse drug reactions you would likely encounter on the USMLE Step 2CK/3 exams. Listen to these before you take any of these tests!
Divine Intervention Episode 360 – The Clutch Secondary Hypertension Podcast (Step 1-3)
Secondary hypertension is tested on essentially every USMLE exam in some way, shape, or form. The NBMEs love to integrate the topic with many other disciplines. If you struggle with this specific topic, this podcast is exactly what you need. I present numerous vignettes, integrations, and physiology/pathology tie-ins to help you make sense and simplicity of a nebulous topic.
