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 455: The HY Autosomal Dominant Disorders Podcast (for Step 1-3)
This podcast is incredibly HY. You will see a lot of this stuff on your exams. Enough said!
Small correction around minute 20. Meningiomas are rarely associated with NF1. They are more commonly associated with NF2 (which is AD, is on Cr 22, and is also associated with ependymomas and acoustic neuromas which we also call schwannomas)
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 444: The Clutch Thromboses Podcast (for Step 1-3)
There are certain patterns of thromboses that our friends at the NBME are very fond of throwing on exams. This podcast discusses common venous and arterial thrombotic patterns that show up on these tests. I discuss pathophysiology as well. Easily one of the highest yield podcasts on this website. Also, pls note that antibiotics are used in the management of carvernous sinus thrombosis and reduce mortality.
Divine Intervention Episode 436: Eye Findings and The USMLEs (floridly HY for Step 1-3)
This is probably one of the highest yield podcasts I have ever made for the USMLE exams. Strongly consider listening to this ahead of your test. The USMLEs, on every single exam, love to throw in eye findings in the context of other things to test your ability to identify certain pathologies. This podcast, in comprehensive fashion, details many of these pathologies.
Divine Intervention Episode 428: X-Linked Dominant Disorders (for Step 1-3)
