Divine Intervention Episode 332 – The Clutch Pleural Abnormalities/Effusions Podcast.

Pleural abnormalities are a topic that show up in some way on the USMLE Step 1-3 exams almost 100% of the time, typically with multiple questions per exam. This podcast discusses essentially all you need to know in an easy to understand format. I spend time on mechanisms, integrations, and classic presentations to help you nail down the information.

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 325 – The Extremely HY Screening Guidelines Podcast.

Screening guidelines are heavily tested on all the USMLE exams (especially 2CK/3). In this extremely HY podcast, I discuss all you need to know from a screening perspective for NBME exams. I categorize things in a way that makes remembrance extremely easy. You will get many questions right from this podcast on your exam.

EDIT: For lung cancer, it’s a 20 pack year history (not 30 pack years). And screening starts at 50 years, not 55. Apologies for the confusion. For colon cancer as of 2023, screening starts at 45 with colonoscopies every 10 years. It no longer starts at 50.
