In this short, but ultra HY podcast, I discuss the vast majority of what you need to know in relation to hypocalcemia for your USMLE exams. I spend a lot of time discussing mechanisms, pathophysiology, treatments, diagnostic approaches, and other key exam details.

Divine Intervention Episode 367 – The Clutch Amyloidosis Podcast (for Step 1-3)
In this short but extremely HY podcast, I discuss the vast majority of what you need to know in relation to amyloidosis for all the USMLE exams. Please listen to this podcast before you take any USMLE exam!
Divine Intervention Episode 360 – The Clutch Secondary Hypertension Podcast (Step 1-3)
Secondary hypertension is tested on essentially every USMLE exam in some way, shape, or form. The NBMEs love to integrate the topic with many other disciplines. If you struggle with this specific topic, this podcast is exactly what you need. I present numerous vignettes, integrations, and physiology/pathology tie-ins to help you make sense and simplicity of a nebulous topic.
Divine Intervention Episode 356 – The Clutch UTI Podcast (for Step 1-3)
UTIs show up on essentially every USMLE exam. This podcast addresses pretty much everything you need to know about them for these tests. As a pro-tip, also consider listening to the urinalysis podcast (Ep 287).
Divine Intervention Episode 321 – The Clutch Metabolic Acidosis Podcast (for all USMLEs).
Metabolic acidosis is a floridly HY topic to know and understand for all the USMLE exams. Unfortunately, many people struggle with it and resort solely to memorizing lists of differentials which is not ideal. Do you want to conceptually understand metabolic acidosis (both high and normal anion gap) and see it’s integrations with multiple disciplines? If yes, this podcast accomplishes just that. The final fact I wanted to mention but forgot is that anion gap increases with age. There are no attached slides.
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 169 – The Clutch Nephrotic/Nephritic Syndrome Podcast.
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 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 124 – ABIM/Medicine ITE/USMLE Step 3 Review Series 9 (Nephrology)
In this episode, I begin a series where I discuss nephrology as classically tested on these exams. There are no attached slides.
