In this super HY podcast, I discuss some abstruse but key neuroanatomical associations with neurological deficits (of the brain and brain stem) that are routinely tested on all the USMLEs (especially 1 and 2CK). This short podcast should net you about 5 or so free exam points. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 210 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 31.
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam. I especially spend time reviewing some physiological concepts that the newer exams routinely test that people have issues with. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 209 – Family Medicine Shelf Review Series 2.
In this episode, I continue our comprehensive review series for the NBME FM Shelf Exam. I specifically discuss psychiatry in the context of the shelf and how most pathologies will be tested (including a behavioral science component). This is actually a very HY podcast to listen to right before the shelf for super easy points. I essentially tell you the vast majority of what you need to know here. The NBME definitely tests a host of psych concepts on this shelf. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 208 – Transfusion Reactions.
In this episode, I discuss all the HY testable material related to transfusion reactions for the USMLE Step 1, 2CK, and 3 exams. This is a short podcast but extremely HY for all these aforementioned exams. Pls listen to these ahead of these exams (they are very well represented). I go into pathophysiology, classic presentations, and treatments. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 207 – The USMLE And Geriatrics Part 1.
In this episode, I discuss a large variety of HY geriatric topics that the USMLE expects you to know (falls, ADLs, depression, pressure ulcers, incontinence, cognition, and others). I strongly recommend getting this and the military podcast (Ep 204) down. Super HY for the more recent exams. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 204 – The USMLE And The Military (Ultra HY for all the USMLE exams!).
In this episode, I discuss a host of topics relevant to military servicemen and women that the NBME emphasizes on the respective USMLE exams. I strongly encourage you to listen to the podcast (or watch the video on the youtube channel, pls subscribe!). There are attached slides detailing the topics I discuss.
Divine Intervention Episode 203 – Leukemia’s and Lymphoma’s for the USMLE Step 2CK and Step 3 Exams.
In this short but HY podcast, I specifically review how to objectively differentiate between leukemia’s and lymphoma’s on these 2 exams. I also discuss the HY exam presentations that should help you net those points (along with some exam worthy basic science that throws back to Step 1). There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 202 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 30.
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series with a discussion of some odd HY topics that people tend to ignore but end up being very commonly tested. Topics discussed include some congenital infections, genetic disorders (especially the trinucleotide repeat ones), transfusion reactions, and a host of other topics. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 200 – How To Make Anki Flashcards and Use UWorld Correctly/Study Recommendations and Course Offerings.
In this episode, I answer a host of important questions I have gotten from tons of medical students. I dig deep and use practical examples to answer many of these questions. I spend most of the time discussing how to make Anki flashcards/notes from UWorld and NBME questions (especially strategies that should make review more efficient). I then delve into my thoughts on studying and repetition. I then conclude with a discussion of the different course options I offer for the USMLE based exams. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 199 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 29.
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a discussion of a host of HY vignettes that commonly express themselves on the test. There are no attached slides. Pay especial attention to the key disease findings and “classic presentations” I highlight.
