In this episode, I continue our HY, rapid review for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a focus on IM (aka about 50% of Step 2CK). A lot of what I discuss here shows up commonly on exams, so pay attention here. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 121 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 5 (IM/Peds)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the Step 2CK exam with a focus on IM/Peds. There’s also a tinge of neuro and surgery discussed. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 120 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 4 (IM/Peds)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK with a discussion of HY material relating to IM/Peds. I spend quite a bit of time talking about cardiac pathologies. There are no slides attached.
Divine Intervention Episode 119 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 3 (IM)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review for the Step 2CK exam with an integrated review of some commonly tested but confusing IM case scenarios. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 104 – ACLS, Arrhythmias, and HY Cardiac Pharm
In this episode, I focus on 3 things; ACLS and detailed management of the different ACLS rhythms, HY arrhythmias and their acute management (VTach, Afib, Aflutter, WPW, SVT, etc etc), and the HY cardiac agents that are tested on exams. The material in this podcast is applicable to all the USMLE exams and the ABIM/Medicine ITE exam. A few questions usually pop up related to these concepts all the time. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 88 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Review Series 3 (Meningitis)
Given the fact that this podcast series is likely going to be used by M4’s/residents, I will start making the Step 3/ABIM/MITE series shorter so you can get in some studying if you have a 15-20 min break or have a drive to the hospital. In view of this, there will be many more podcasts for this series (and I will start making them more frequently). There are no attached slides. In this episode, I detail essentially everything you need to know about meningitis for these 3 exams. One important tidbit I forgot to mention is giving IV Dexamethasone about 15 mins before starting abx therapy if you suspect S. Pneumo as the offending organism. You do this for 4 days. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 75 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Board Review Series 2 (Endocrinology)
In this podcast, I continue our review by going over a vast majority of the endocrinology that is potentially testable on these exams while integrating multiple disciplines. I plan to have one more podcast where I finish up my discussion of endocrine to essentially form a thorough endocrinology review for the highlighted exams. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 74 – USMLE Step 3/Medicine ITE/ABIM Board Review Series 1
In this podcast (series 1 of many to come), I begin to discuss topics that are targeted primarily towards residents preparing for the USMLE Step 3 exam and the Internal Medicine In Training Exam (ITE). This would also potentially help with the medicine boards but that is not my primary focus with this podcast. I utilize a format where I present a classic vignette, highlight the diagnosis, spend an extended period discussing the testable information relating to the diagnosis (and related diseases), and then give some HY info at the end relating to tests that should be ordered (especially for the CCS portion of Step 3). There are no attached slides as all information is in the podcast.
Divine Intervention Episode 41 – USMLE Antibiotic Guide.
Today’s podcast is a very high level review of antibiotics as classically tested on USMLE/Shelf exams. Basically, this podcast tells you what to do when presented with a particular bug scenario. Slides attached.

Divine Intervention Episode 36 – USMLE Ophthalmology.
In this podcast, I cover the great majority of the ophthalmology that would classically be tested on a medicine shelf, peds shelf, surgery shelf, Step 1/2CK/3, and the M3 neurology shelf with the most benefit being for the medicine shelf/Step 2CK/3. For those studying for the medicine shelf, consider this as an addition to the medicine reviews (ophthalmology was the significant thing lacking in those comprehensive recordings). This material will almost certainly be tested in some way on a medicine/surgery shelf. You definitely don’t want to blow this off. You will pay dearly. Slides attached.
