In this short podcast, I go over some weird nuances with mitral/aortic disorders. I spend quite a bit of time discussing management and “pertinent arrows” related to these issues that could give people trouble on exams.

In this extremely HY podcast, I take a deep dive into exploring insulin and the many different ways it could be tested on the USMLE exams. Everything in this podcast is HY for Step 1. There’s also a few HY items here for individuals taking Step 2/3. Please listen to this if you can.
Divine Intervention Episode 481: The Clutch Inclusion Bodies Podcast (for Step 1-3)
Inclusion bodies are pretty high yield to know and understand for Step 1-3. I discuss the critical ones in this podcast. There are many others but they are typically extremely low yield and the USMLEs tend to go over more relevant details of those diseases than their inclusions. I also provide some useful tips here for differentiating the ones associated with red blood cells.
Divine Intervention Episode 477: The Clutch Acute Coronary Syndromes Podcast
The USMLEs love their acute coronary syndromes. This stuff also shows up on multiple shelf exams. This podcast goes on a deep, high yield dive into this topic and emphasizes common exam scenarios that should help you garner easy points.
Divine Intervention Episode 470: Numerical Acid-Base Problems on The USMLEs (a simplified, accurate approach)
Numerical acid base problems that require picking out the exact disorder and appropriate compensation show up on essentially every USMLE exam. In this podcast, I discuss a simple, but accurate approach to correctly answering these questions from an NBME/USMLE. This is one of those podcasts you should take notes on and listen through slowly. It is not too long, but it will certainly help you score wise on your test.
Divine Intervention Episode 459: The Clutch STI Podcast (for Step 1-3)
STIs are very easily confused on the USMLE exams. In this short podcast, I discuss what you need to know and emphasize key differentiating points. The only one I don’t discuss is N. Gonorrhoeae which is treated with ceftriaxone and is gram negative.

Divine Intervention Episode 450: The Clutch Hypernatremia Podcast (for Step 1-3)
Hypernatremia is very commonly tested on all the USMLE exams. If you want to understand the pathophysiology of hypernatremia, this podcast is what you need. I even discuss the reasoning behind why one treatment comes before the other so you’re not just blindly memorizing some algorithm you learnt somewhere.
Divine Intervention Episode 445: The Clutch MI Complications Podcast (Step 1-3)
In this clutch podcast episode, we discuss pretty much all you need to know about MI complications. They test this stuff on all the USMLE exams. I discuss the basic ones but also venture into a lot of what is not really covered in detail by many resources. I spend time explaining pathophysiology so you’re not just blindly memorizing concepts. Super HY stuff to know for your tests.
