For medical students taking endocrinology, the myriad of tests used to diagnose the different pathologies sometimes seem nebulous and random. In this podcast, I describe a simple, logical framework for organizing the different diagnostic tests in your mind. I strongly believe that you should consider listening to this to obtain a better appreciation of/foundation before delving deep into understanding endocrinology.

Divine Intervention Episode 513: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 112
In this episode, I discuss a host of genetic diseases commonly tested on the USMLEs and devote time to making other integrations with endocrinology, microbiology, and pharmacology. Email me via the website if you want to register for the Step 2/3 class starting today.
Divine Intervention Episode 512: Mechanisms of Diarrhea (for Step 1-3)
Diarrhea is a very common topic on the USMLEs. One big focus with some questions is not recall but knowing how the diarrhea actually unfolds. These questions often have answer chances that do not list bugs but list mechanisms. This podcast helps to clear up how diarrhea actually arises so you can answer these questions correctly.
Divine Intervention Episode 511: How To Read and Retain Information
In this podcast, I address very practical tips and principles for reading/listening to information and retaining it for future use on exams and other personal situations.
Divine Intervention Episode 510: Obstructive Sleep Apnea and It’s Many Integrations (Step 1-3)
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.
Divine Intervention Episode 509: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 111 (MUST LISTEN for Step 2/3)
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 508: The Clutch Sickle Cell Disease Podcast (for Step 1-3) Part 2
In this podcast, I conclude our deep dive into sickle cell disease. I make tons of integrations in this as well and discuss many of the complications associated with sickle cell disease by using vignettes. See you in the next episode.
Divine Intervention Episode 507: The Clutch Sickle Cell Disease Podcast (for Step 1-3) Part 1
Sickle cell disease is easily a multisystems processes and disorders topic on the USMLEs. It can be tested in a myriad of ways and our friends at the NBMEs have a unique way of extending this concept to so many other disciplines. The goal of this podcast is to help you understand sickle cell disease but also help you see the many other ways they can go after this concept on the exams. In this episode alone, I have spent time talking about micro, social sciences/communication, etc. Definitely try to get through this before your exams if possible. Episode 508 will be the concluding part.
Divine Intervention Episode 506: Weird But HY Spinal Cord Disorders (for Step 1-3)
There are a series of spinal cord disorders that are not addressed in many review resources but have an uncanny ability to show up on all the USMLE exams. In this podcast, I collate these disorders together, discuss their classic presentations, emphasize differences between them, and also try to explain relevant pathophysiology where necessary. I also make a bunch of integrations with other disciplines.
Divine Intervention Episode 505: Why people fail USMLE exams (a thoughtful discourse)
In this podcast, I delve deep into specific reasons why people perform poorly on their USMLE exams. I obviously don’t know it all but I encourage you to keep an open mind and see how some of this information may apply to you. This podcast applies to almost any exam as well.
