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.

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 122 – What Should I Listen To For Step 2CK?
I have gotten a fair number of emails/seen reddit posts about knowing what to listen to from my website so here’s a podcast that answers that exact question (for 2CK at least). I break the recommended episodes into 2 groups;
Group A-Podcasts everyone should listen to regardless of knowledge level.
Group B-Podcasts you should listen to in addition to Group A if you wanted to use the material on the website as your content source for Step 2CK review (you should obviously do practice questions).
