This podcast is technically part of the rapid review series for Step 2/3. But there’s a twist here. I spend time discussing concepts, explaining pathophysiology, and showing integrations. But beyond this, I spend a decent amount of time talking about thought processes you should have if you plan to be successful with taking the newer USMLE exams. There’ll be a podcast coming soon on why people fail the USMLE exams and why there’s an increased number of failures.

Divine Intervention Episode 503: LFTs and The USMLEs
LFTs show up in one way or the other on practically every USMLE exam. In this podcast, I lay a solid foundation and use numerous vignettes and conceptual integrations to help you understand the material. This should help tremendously with these questions on test day. I delve into some concepts that are not found in many resources but occasionally show up on the test. Another recommended podcast in this series is Ep 257 on bilirubin. Email me via the website if you would love to join the USMLE classes taking place this week.
Divine Intervention Episode 502: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 109

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.

Divine Intervention Episode 498: The Successful Dedicated Period (Part 1)
A major determinant of your performance on the USMLE exams lies in how your dedicated period is constructed. In this podcast, I begin a deep dive into very practical principles that can help with properly structuring your dedicated period. I will continue this discussion in Ep 499. Definitely worthwhile if you are going to have a dedicated period in the future or are currently in one and not doing very well.
Divine Intervention Episode 497: Avoiding trouble in residency (and medical school)
Residency can be a blissful experience. For others, it can be an intensely painful experience. How residency turns out largely depends on you. In this podcast, I examine principles that on application will make residency (and medical school) a much more rewarding experience.
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.
