In this episode, I discuss a series of odd topics that are pertinent to the current USMLE exams (especially Step 2CK and Step 3). These topics include most common complications of disease, important prognostic factors, most common causes of death, etc. I also discuss a host of risk factors not specifically discussed in Ep 37/97. As you can tell from recent reports on reddit/SDN, this is very HY stuff to know for said exams. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 183 – Comprehensive NBME Emergency Medicine Shelf Review Series 3.
In this podcast, I cover (with rare exceptions which will be discussed in upcoming podcasts) essentially everything you could potentially see on an EM shelf with respect to infectious diseases. This podcast is definitely the type you listen to before your shelf. It’s detailed, but it is extremely HY. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 181 – Comprehensive NBME Emergency Medicine Shelf Review Series 1.
In this episode, I begin a comprehensive series specifically targeted towards the EM NBME Shelf taken by 3rd and 4th year medical students. In this first series, I attempt to cover most conceivable cardio related concepts (arrhythmias, PE, CHF, valvular problems, endocarditis, management steps, EKG goodness, etc) that may show up on the exam. This singular podcast probably represents a good close to 10-15% or more of what would be covered on said shelf. Protip would be to specifically look up examples of the different weird heart rhythms I talk about. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 180 – Hematology For The Surgery Shelf Exam.
In this episode, I cover the hematology that is classically tested on the surgery shelf exam. For those taking the shelf exam, don’t sleep on this. About 5-10% of the surgery shelf exam questions center around blood disorders. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 177 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 24 (OGBYN).

In this floridly HY episode, I go over essentially all you can possibly be tested on with regards to the immunodeficiency diseases on the USMLE exams. This stuff shows up all the time on 2CK and Step 3 so this podcast should definitely be listened to prior to taking said exams. There are no attached slides.

In this podcast, I cover everything you can ever wish to know/understand about the HY nephrotic and nephritic syndromes that show up on Step 1, 2CK, 3, and the IM exams. I very rapidly cover the material in different layers and discuss classic findings, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, treatment, and pathophysiology to help with really cementing the material. You’ll have to work incredibly hard to ever get any nephrotic/nephritic syndrome question wrong on pretty much any medical exam after listening to this. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 167 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 21 (Cardio).
In this episode, I discuss a large number of HY cardiology vignettes commonly tested on the 2CK exam. There are no attached slides.
