In this podcast, I discuss a very specific drug interaction our friends at the NBME love to go after on Step 1-3. I give a rich number of examples. I conclude by discussing 1-2 more concepts that often show up as well. Shorter podcast so this should be a quick listen.

Divine Intervention Episode 540: Floridly HY Cardiac Signs (Step 1-3)
This podcast is HY. Many people just memorize cardiac signs. The USMLEs over the last year has started placing an emphasis on making Qs a lot more challenging by describing these signs in weird integrated ways which makes it hard for some to even realize what is being tested. In this podcast, I begin to discuss some of these signs. I’ll hit some more within the next few podcasts.

Divine Intervention Episode 530: Cognitive Errors and The USMLEs (very HY for Step 1-3)
In this podcast, I deliberately use examples to review many of the HY cognitive errors that are often tested on the USMLEs.

At the end, I give some memory hooks to help you differentiate one error from the other so you don’t confuse them on your test.
Divine Intervention Episode 524: The Clutch Osteomyelitis Podcast (for Step 1-3)

Divine Intervention Episode 517: B3 and The USMLE
We all know that niacin deficiency causes pellagra…But our friends at the USMLEs love to draw their questions from the causes/integrations. That way they can easily test if you can see links between disparate symptoms and pathways. This short podcast essentially teaches you all of this in an easy to understand format. Also make sure you know the classic “image” they use for these patients.
