Divine Intervention Episode 165 – Comprehensive USMLE Step 1 Cardiology Review 3.

In this episode I continue our comprehensive cardiology review series for the USMLE Step 1 exam with a discussion of HY cardiac pathologies. I would strongly recommend listening to the early part of Episode 5 on this website as I discuss the pathophysiology behind some of the physical exam maneuvers and how they affect murmur intensity. Note that Part 1 is Episode 116 and Part 2 is Episode 154. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 164 – The Clutch Toxicology Podcast (Drugs of abuse, overdose, withdrawal, toxidromes).

In this episode, I review a wide range of material pertinent to toxicology as tested on the USMLE Step 1, 2CK, and 3 exams. I discuss toxicities of many drugs, toxidromes, drugs of abuse, reversal agents, etc. This stuff is very HY and represents material you absolutely want to know on any USMLE based exam. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 163 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 19 (Surgery, Abdomen).

In this episode, I continue our rapid review series although this podcast is on the more lengthy end of the spectrum (50 mins). It is a decently comprehensive drive-bye of the vast majority of the GI complaints you’ll see tested on an NBME surgery exam. I essentially discuss the major pathologies of every key organ below the diaphragm extending all the way to the pelvis. This would also be useful for a student preparing for a SPEX exam during a surgery rotation. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 161 – The Clutch Auto-antibody Podcast.

In this episode, I review essentially all the HY auto-antibodies that may be tested on all the USMLE exams. Short but HY as you’ll almost see a few of these pop up on Step 1, 2CK, and 3. I discuss them using clinical vignettes. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 155 – Common USMLE Problems (Drug Ads, Timing, New 2CK Exam, Studying) + New USMLE Booster Course.

In this short podcast, I talk about my strategy for dealing with drug ads, timing, and spaced repetition for the USMLE exams. I also talk about how to approach the “new” USMLE Step 2CK exam. At the end, I spend time discussing a new 10 hr “HY Booster” Step 2CK/3 course that I have offered on a 1-on-1 basis for a while now. The Step 1 analog runs for about 20 hrs. The course has been in testing for a few months and has gotten overwhelmingly good feedback. There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 154 – Comprehensive USMLE Step 1 Cardiology Review 2

In this episode, I continue our discussion of cardiology as relevant to the USMLE Step 1 exam (continuation from Episode 116 and Episode 5). My ultimate goal is to cover everything in the FA for Step 1 book. I explain mechanisms and discuss classic presentations. There are no attached slides.
