Divine Intervention Episode 128 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 9 (IM) and a small update on the newer Step 2CK Questions.

In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a focus on a large number of HY GI, Heme, and Onc concepts tested on Step 2. I also spend the first few mins giving my thoughts on the new Step 2CK questions that seem to be quite bothersome for people. 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.
