Divine Intervention Episode 326 – Pediatric Cardiology and Hemodynamic Changes for the USMLE exams.
The NBME is quite good at writing questions where they test your knowledge of pressures/volumes/hemodynamic changes associated with pediatric heart defects. Many MS3s/4s routinely get these questions wrong on exams. If you fall into this bucket, this podcast will effectively fix this problem. The concepts emphasized here are very heavily on the USMLE exams (Step 1-3) and peds shelf exams.
Divine Intervention Episode 323 – Immunocompromised Patients, Transplant Patients, and the USMLEs.
In this ultra HY podcast, I discuss a wide variety of scenarios and permutations of immunocompromised/transplant patients that commonly show up on the USMLE exams. Think of this as a continuation of Ep 173 (Immunodeficiency diseases). I explain pathophysiology and break things down in ways that makes understanding and remembrance easy. I end with a life lesson on “motivation”. For more info on the Step 2CK/3 class starting tomorrow (6/28-7/2), email me via the website.
Divine Intervention Episode 322 – Introduction to General Embryology.
In this HY podcast, I discuss the mechanisms associated with embryology from the formation of gonads to the formation of the implanted embryo and it’s 3 layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). I use clear explanations and logic to help you see how everything fits together. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 321 – The Clutch Metabolic Acidosis Podcast (for all USMLEs).
Metabolic acidosis is a floridly HY topic to know and understand for all the USMLE exams. Unfortunately, many people struggle with it and resort solely to memorizing lists of differentials which is not ideal. Do you want to conceptually understand metabolic acidosis (both high and normal anion gap) and see it’s integrations with multiple disciplines? If yes, this podcast accomplishes just that. The final fact I wanted to mention but forgot is that anion gap increases with age. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 319 – NBME Gastroenterology Series 6 (for all USMLEs).
In this episode, I continue our comprehensive GI series for the USMLEs with a discussion of a host of metabolic GI disorders. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 318 – NBME Gastroenterology Series 5 (for all USMLEs).
In this HY podcast, I continue our comprehensive USMLE gastroenterology series with it’s 5th installation. There are no attached slides. This is a continuation from Episode 298. I discuss a host of gastric and small bowel pathologies while making lots of integrations with other disciplines (especially hematology and pulmonology).
Divine Intervention Episode 317 – Breastfeeding, Newborn Jaundice, and The NBMEs.
In this ultra HY podcast, I discuss tons of different vignettes as they relate to newborn jaundice and breastfeeding. These things are routinely tested on the USMLE exams and are easy points if you know and understand the relevant pathophysiology. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 315 – The Clutch Circle of Willis Podcast (Step 1-3).
In this ultra HY podcast, I discuss (and explain pathophysiology) all you need to know, including clinical integrations, for the circle of Willis. Short podcast, but super HY to score easy points on your USMLEs. For more info on the Step 2CK/3 course coming up next week, shoot me an email via the website.
Divine Intervention Episode 313 – The Floridly HY Hyperkalemia Podcast (for Step 1-3) + 20 hour 2CK/3 course reminder.
In this short, but extremely HY episode, I discuss hyperkalemia from essentially every possible angle that the NBME could test on your exams. I spend time discussing vignettes and explaining pathophysiology so memorization is kept to the bare minimum. This podcast will help you get many questions right on your test. There are no attached slides.
