In this ultra HY podcast, I continue our series on cardiovascular pharmacology as relevant to the 2 exams described above. I encourage you to master the material from this podcast and the previous one. It will come in big on your test. For more details on the Step 2CK/3/COMLEX 2/3 course taking place next week, email me via the website.

Divine Intervention Episode 346 – Cardiovascular Pharmacology for The USMLE Step 2CK/3 Exams Part 1 (+ 11/1-5 Step 2CK/3 Course Reminder)
Cardiovascular pharmacology is an area that the NBMEs have a strong focus on across all USMLE exams. Most people find this topic too nebulous to study (wrt Step 2CK/3) as it integrates with so many disciplines. If this is your problem, you have come to the right place. The goal of this podcast series is to show you exactly what you need to know from an NBME perspective, help you understand the material, and help you integrate things in the way the NBME loves to integrate them. For more details relating to the 2CK/3 24 Hour Course and NBME Test Taking Strategies Course taking place in 2 weeks, shoot me an email via the website.
Divine Intervention Episode 333 – The Clutch Pressor and Inotrope Podcast for Step 2CK/3.
In this short but extremely HY podcast, I discuss pressors/inotropes from perspectives commonly emphasized on the USMLE Step 2CK and Step 3 exams.
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 253 – Starling Forces and The NBMEs (for Step 1-3).
In this episode, I review a topic that is floridly HY to know for all the USMLE exams (Step 1, 2CK, and 3). This topic has a unique way of presenting itself in physiological/pathological scenarios on these exams. I discuss the vast majority of these scenarios in this podcast. Pay close attention here. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 244 – The NBME and Cardiac Valvular Disorders (+ Upcoming 2CK Course 7/11/20).
In this podcast, I review a floridly HY topic that is classically tested by our friends at the NBME: the cardiac valvular disorders. I focus very specifically on HY bits of information they love to test and leave out fluff. In addition, I spend quite a bit of time focusing on pathophysiology so you don’t have to waste time memorizing long lists of stuff. There are no attached slides.
In addition, the next 20ish person 10 hr 2CK class takes place on the 11th of July via zoom. Reach out to me at divineinterventionpodcasts@gmail.com to reserve a spot.
Divine Intervention Episode 233 – Shock.
Shock is an ultra HY topic for all the USMLE exams. This podcast gives you everything you need to know to answer those questions. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 232 – Vasculitis and The USMLE.
In this HY podcast, I review all you need to know about the vasculitides as tested on the USMLE exams. You’ll definitely see some of these on the test you write (Step 1, 2CK, 3). I go into tons of pathophysiology so you’re not just blindly memorizing associations. I however discuss the classic presentations (NBME vocab) you’re likely to see. There are no attached slides.
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 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.
