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. There ARE ATTACHED SLIDES below for some of the flow-volume loops.

Divine Intervention Episode 123 – USMLE Ethics Series 1
In this episode, I discuss HY principles relating to the ethics questions that classically show up on the USMLE Step 1, 2CK, and Step 3 exams. This is probably one of those podcasts you’d want to get through in the few days leading up to your test. Free points if you know the concepts discussed. I try to explain classically tested ethics principles with permutations as to how they may present along with specifics on what to do in each circumstance. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 118 – Some Confusing Breast Pathologies
This is a super short podcast. In this podcast, I tell you how to differentiate between mastitis, abscess, breast engorgement, galactocele, and inflammatory breast cancer on NBME exams. Too many people get this wrong so I am clearing this up in this podcast. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 115 – How To Study For The USMLE Step 3 Exam
In this episode, I discuss fine points of preparing for and dominating the USMLE Step 3 Exam. I talk about a variety of resources needed to excel on the test and answer many common questions that people have with regards to scheduling and the types of content classically represented. The short version is that you may have to draw on little bits of information from multiple resources (vs the other USMLEs where you draw on large bits of information from a few resources) as there are no good, all-encompassing 1 stop shop prep resources for Step 3. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 112 – The “Clutch” Pharmacology Podcast Round 2
In this episode, I continue the clutch series related to pharmacology. Unfortunately, I will need a round 3 to complete the circle as pharmacology is quite vast.

Divine Intervention Episode 111 – The “Clutch” Pharmacology Podcast Round 1
In this episode, I essentially walk through tons of drugs and the classic means by which they are tested on NBME exams. There will very likely be another iteration of this in the near future.

Divine Intervention Episode 106 – ABIM/Medicine ITE/USMLE Step 3 Review Series 6 (Cardio 2).
In this episode, I continue our in depth review of cardiology primarily with recourse to ABIM tested concepts. For those preparing for the Medicine ITE/Step 3, many of these concepts are also tested very frequently. This podcast spends time on many this vs that scenarios that tend to cause problems for people on these exams (wrt to cardio). There are no attached slides.
