In this podcast, I cover everything you can ever wish to know/understand about the HY nephrotic and nephritic syndromes that show up on Step 1, 2CK, 3, and the IM exams. I very rapidly cover the material in different layers and discuss classic findings, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, treatment, and pathophysiology to help with really cementing the material. You’ll have to work incredibly hard to ever get any nephrotic/nephritic syndrome question wrong on pretty much any medical exam after listening to this. 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 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 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.
Divine Intervention Episode 150 – Comprehensive USMLE Renal Pharmacology 3.
In this podcast, I continue our review of renal pharmacology. I discuss mechanisms and HY integrations with many of the diuretics. There’ll be one more short podcast to complete the series. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 149 – Comprehensive USMLE Renal Pharmacology 2.
In this episode, I continue our review relating to renal pharm. In this podcast, I pursue a lot of integration with other disciplines. There’s a good # of USMLE questions you’d get right from this one podcast. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 146 – Comprehensive USMLE Renal Pharmacology Part 1.
In this episode, I begin a discussion of renal pharmacology as pertinent to the USMLE Step 1 Exam. I integrate my discussion with multiple disciplines. Note that there is also a detailed, comprehensive renal review series for Step 1 (Episodes 52-54). For this podcast, there are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 143 – The Clutch Biostats Review (Comprehensive for all the USMLE exams).
In this episode, I use a large # of questions (hopefully thoughtful ones) to discuss the vast majority of biostats concepts tested on all the USMLE exams (and also the ABIM/Medicine ITE). I emphasize understanding the concepts as against mindlessly memorizing formulas. If you want to become very good at biostats with little or no use of 2 by 2 tables, this is the podcast for you. This podcast should help you understand things enough to reason things out and do very minimal math quickly and efficiently on these exams. THERE ARE ATTACHED SLIDES BELOW! Follow and annotate them as you study.
