In this episode, I discuss a lot of weird but HY commonly tested social science concepts from the USMLE exams written by the NBME. This podcast is specifically designed to help with those bizarro questions that test non-classical concepts not commonly discussed/covered in most study materials. In this podcast I discuss issues related to palliative/end of life/hospice/pain control care, diagnostic errors/biases, patient safety/QI, professionalism, standardized medical practices (like patient hand offs), ethical conundrums, HIPAA, advanced directives, substance abuse, quick run through of HY vaccines/screening guidelines, and a few more important concepts. You should absolutely listen to this before taking any of the USMLE exams (especially 2CK or 3). Super easy points if you know them. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 129 – Targeted Pulm Review 1 For The USMLE Step 2CK (also useful for Step 1 and 3)
Pulm is classically a hard subject for people to master. In general, there is little variation between what the NBME tests across the USMLEs on pulm topics. In this episode, I try really hard to help you understand and have a solid basis in pulm with a physiological bent on things. I discuss pulmonary physiology but then delve into HY NBME exam scenarios that show up frequently. On Step 2CK, many pulm concepts end up being analysis questions that demand a salient understanding of the underlying physiology. If pulm is an issue, this is the podcast for you. There ARE ATTACHED SLIDES below for some of the flow-volume loops.
Divine Intervention Episode 123 – USMLE Ethics Series 1
In this episode, I discuss HY principles relating to the ethics questions that classically show up on the USMLE Step 1, 2CK, and Step 3 exams. This is probably one of those podcasts you’d want to get through in the few days leading up to your test. Free points if you know the concepts discussed. I try to explain classically tested ethics principles with permutations as to how they may present along with specifics on what to do in each circumstance. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 118 – Some Confusing Breast Pathologies

Divine Intervention Episode 112 – The “Clutch” Pharmacology Podcast Round 2
In this episode, I continue the clutch series related to pharmacology. Unfortunately, I will need a round 3 to complete the circle as pharmacology is quite vast.

Divine Intervention Episode 111 – The “Clutch” Pharmacology Podcast Round 1
In this episode, I essentially walk through tons of drugs and the classic means by which they are tested on NBME exams. There will very likely be another iteration of this in the near future.
