In this short podcast, I review essentially everything testable on any of the USMLE exams relating to HIV (Step 1-3). I would know this podcast really well as essentially most of this gets tested in 1 way or the other on exams. Also remember that S. Pneumo is the MCC of pneumonia in HIV patients (especially with lobar infiltrates). Only choose PCP if interstitial infiltrates are mentioned (and don’t forget to give steroids if A-a gradient > 35 or PaO2 < 70). There are no attached slides.

Divine Intervention Episode 235 – How To Admit New Patients Efficiently (For med students and interns/residents).
In this HY episode, I detail how to admit new patients to most ward rotations very efficiently. I did most of what I recommend here during my med school years/intern year and was able to do most new admissions in about 30 mins-1 hr. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 234 – USMLE Nov 2020 Changes Series 3: Medication/Transition of Care Errors.
In this HY podcast, I continue the CLEAN-SP curriculum that focuses solely on the new changes coming to the USMLE this month and next month. I spend time discussing medication and transition of care errors. I closely follow the USMLE content outline put out by the NBME. There are no attached slides.
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 231 – USMLE Military Podcast Part 2.
In this episode, I continue the military series for the USMLE exams (Step 1, 2CK, and Step 3). In this podcast, I focus specifically on infectious disease and vaccine consideration for deploying/returning servicemen and women. I strongly encourage listening to both parts of the series prior to taking any of the USMLE exams. This is straight from the USMLE content outline. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 230 – USMLE Nov 2020 Changes Series 2: Quality and Safety.
In this episode, I continue the series that focuses on the changes coming to the USMLEs starting next month (May) from the quality and safety side of things. I cover the super HY quality and safety buzzwords and give copious examples. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 228 – USMLE Nov 2020 Changes Series 1: Palliative Care 1.
In this episode, I begin a series that should be relevant to the USMLE Step 1 and 2CK exams starting next month (May 2020). The USMLE will now begin to have questions on Communication, Legal/Ethical skills, And, Systems Based Practice/Professionalism/Patient Safety (CLEAN-SP). This intro podcast focuses on palliative care with some HY information on communication and advanced care planning. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 226 – The USMLE and Iron Labs.
In this short but HY podcast, I describe the mechanisms and classic pathologies tested on the USMLE exams in the context of iron labs. If you digest the material from this podcast, you’ll essentially never have to memorize how labs change in many of the anemias. They’ll just intuitively make perfect sense. I also clear up a lot of confusing concepts for students. Definitely HY for Step 1-3. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 221 – The Floridly HY Trauma Podcast (for Step 2CK, Step 3, Surgery, EMED Shelf Exams).
In this super HY podcast, I discuss extremely important, super commonly tested scenarios that show up on the NBMEs. For the shelf exams mentioned above, expect 5-10 questions from this single podcast and a slightly higher number on 2CK/Step 3. There are no attached slides.
