In this episode, I continue our pulmonary pathophysiology series and take a deeper dive with asthma and COPD.

Divine Intervention Episode 393 – Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 2
In this episode, we continue the series from Ep 392 that has the goal of really helping you understand and nail down the pathophysiology behind pulmonology and its associated pathologies.
Divine Intervention Episode 392 – Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 1
Pulm and it’s associated pathophysiology represents some of the most difficult material students have to learn in medical school. This podcast uses clinical vignettes and clear explanations to help you understand difficult concepts that people typically have issues with as they prepare for the USMLE exams. I plan to make more in the near future.
Divine Intervention Episode 353 – The Clutch Pulmonary HTN Podcast (for Step 1-3)
Pulmonary HTN is a topic that is tested in so many different unique ways on the USMLE exams. This podcast addresses the topic from an “exam like” perspective, explains mechanisms, and integrates with other disciplines.
Divine Intervention Episode 339 – The HY Pulmonary Embolism Podcast
Pulmonary emboli are a very commonly tested topic on the USMLE exams. The NBME especially loves to test this topic in the context of “scenarios”. In this podcast, I utilize a scenario heavy approach to address these concepts and explain pathophysiology.
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 331 – The Clutch Lung Cancer Podcast
In this short but extremely HY podcast, I discuss all you need to know about lung cancer for the USMLE Step 1-3 exams. This should easily net you multiple points on each of these tests.
Divine Intervention Episode 300 – Comprehensive Coronavirus/COVID-19 Podcast for The USMLEs (Step 1-3).
In this extremely high yield podcast, I go into a thorough discussion of the coronavirus/COVID-19 in the context of NBME exams. I spend a lot of time explaining pathophysiology and making tons of integrations with immunology, cardio, pulm, micro, etc. This should essentially help you answer any USMLE Q you see and also help you understand a lot about what is going on with the pandemic in our world.
Divine Intervention Episode 249 -Blood Oxygen Content and the USMLEs.
In this short pulm focused podcast, I discuss a host of common exam scenarios that deal with factors that affect blood O2 content. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 129 – Targeted Pulm Review 1 For The USMLE Step 2CK (also useful for Step 1 and 3)
Pulm is classically a hard subject for people to master. In general, there is little variation between what the NBME tests across the USMLEs on pulm topics. In this episode, I try really hard to help you understand and have a solid basis in pulm with a physiological bent on things. I discuss pulmonary physiology but then delve into HY NBME exam scenarios that show up frequently. On Step 2CK, many pulm concepts end up being analysis questions that demand a salient understanding of the underlying physiology. If pulm is an issue, this is the podcast for you.
