Divine Intervention Episode 363 – Taking the confusion out of confounding.
Confounding as a biostatistical concept literally confounds people on every USMLE exam. If you have a problem with this topic, this podcast is exactly what you’re looking for. I use lots of examples and then explain the ways this material can be tested on NBME exams.

Divine Intervention Episode 228 – USMLE Nov 2020 Changes Series 1: Palliative Care 1.
In this episode, I begin a series that should be relevant to the USMLE Step 1 and 2CK exams starting next month (May 2020).

This intro podcast focuses on palliative care with some HY information on communication and advanced care planning. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 207 – The USMLE And Geriatrics Part 1.
In this episode, I discuss a large variety of HY geriatric topics that the USMLE expects you to know (falls, ADLs, depression, pressure ulcers, incontinence, cognition, and others). I strongly recommend getting this and the military podcast (Ep 204) down. Super HY for the more recent exams. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 204 – The USMLE And The Military (Ultra HY for all the USMLE exams!).
In this episode, I discuss a host of topics relevant to military servicemen and women that the NBME emphasizes on the respective USMLE exams.

Divine Intervention Episode 197 – Bias in Biostatistics.
In this episode, I review the HY biases that tend to show up on all the USMLE exams (Step 1, 2CK, and 3). This is definitely something that lends itself to a few questions so definitely make sure you get this down cold. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 143 – The Clutch Biostats Review (Comprehensive for all the USMLE exams).
In this episode, I use a large # of questions (hopefully thoughtful ones) to discuss the vast majority of biostats concepts tested on all the USMLE exams (and also the ABIM/Medicine ITE). I emphasize understanding the concepts as against mindlessly memorizing formulas. If you want to become very good at biostats with little or no use of 2 by 2 tables, this is the podcast for you. This podcast should help you understand things enough to reason things out and do very minimal math quickly and efficiently on these exams. THERE ARE ATTACHED SLIDES BELOW! Follow and annotate them as you study.
