We all know that niacin deficiency causes pellagra…But our friends at the USMLEs love to draw their questions from the causes/integrations. That way they can easily test if you can see links between disparate symptoms and pathways. This short podcast essentially teaches you all of this in an easy to understand format. Also make sure you know the classic “image” they use for these patients.

Divine Intervention Episode 509: USMLE Step 2/3 Rapid Review Series 111 (MUST LISTEN for Step 2/3)
While this may be a rapid review podcast, I spend the entire time discussing different receptors and how they are integrated from a pharmacology and pathology perspective specifically for Step 2/3. The USMLEs now focus quite well on some basic science concepts from Step 1 directly on the Step 2CK/3 exams. This podcast addresses a classic area where they exploit this particular issue. Listen to this stuff AND know it well.
Divine Intervention Episode 455: The HY Autosomal Dominant Disorders Podcast (for Step 1-3)
This podcast is incredibly HY. You will see a lot of this stuff on your exams. Enough said!
Small correction around minute 20. Meningiomas are rarely associated with NF1. They are more commonly associated with NF2 (which is AD, is on Cr 22, and is also associated with ependymomas and acoustic neuromas which we also call schwannomas)
Divine Intervention Episode 428: X-Linked Dominant Disorders (for Step 1-3)
In this short but super HY podcast, I discuss the HY X linked dominant disorders you need to know for the USMLE/COMLEX exams and also spend time discussing probabilities you need to use on exams when asked about this specific inheritance pattern.
Divine Intervention Episode 140 – ABIM/Medicine ITE/USMLE Step 3 Review Series 10 (Nephro 2)
In this episode, I continue our review for the above named exams with a HY discussion relating to nephrology. I spend the bulk of this podcast discussing the diseases of the glomerulus. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 135 – The “Clutch” Electrolyte Podcast
In this episode, I thoroughly examine essentially all major electrolytes tested on the USMLE exams. If electrolytes (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, and other minors) are a problem, this is the podcast you need. This will make those elyte problems go away. I can of course offer no guarantees but this is one of those “net you 20-25 correct questions on USMLE Step 1/2CK/3 exam” sort of podcasts. Probably one of the highest yield on this website and very highly recommended before taking any USMLE exam. Even a resident will find this to be extremely useful. I explain all these electrolytes with a copious number of scenarios and underlying pathophysiology. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 26 – USMLE Radiology.
In this episode, I go over very high yield radiographic imaging “signs” that classically show up on the USMLEs. Super HY for all the USMLEs. Slides attached.Divine Intervention Episode 26-USMLE Radiology
Divine Intervention Episode 17 – Diseases of The Pediatric Population Part 1.
In today’s episode, I discuss a flurry of HY diseases that commonly show up in the pediatric population on exams (Step 1-3, Peds Shelf, OBGYN Shelf). I would encourage you to master/memorize everything discussed here. They are VERY COMMONLY tested. Slides attached.Divine Intervention Episode 17 Diseases of The Pediatric Population Part 1
