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 134 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 12 (IM-Cardiology)

Divine Intervention Episode 133 – USMLE Step 1 Neuro Review 3 (Cranial Nerves)
In this episode, I continue our comprehensive review Neurology series for the USMLE Step 1 with a focus on the cranial nerves which traditionally are a sore area for medical students. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 132 – The Floridly High Yield USMLE Social Sciences Review (For Step 2CK, Step 3, and maybe Step 1)
In this episode, I discuss a lot of weird but HY commonly tested social science concepts from the USMLE exams written by the NBME. This podcast is specifically designed to help with those bizarro questions that test non-classical concepts not commonly discussed/covered in most study materials. In this podcast I discuss issues related to palliative/end of life/hospice/pain control care, diagnostic errors/biases, patient safety/QI, professionalism, standardized medical practices (like patient hand offs), ethical conundrums, HIPAA, advanced directives, substance abuse, quick run through of HY vaccines/screening guidelines, and a few more important concepts. You should absolutely listen to this before taking any of the USMLE exams (especially 2CK or 3). Super easy points if you know them. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 131 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 11 (OB, Psych, IM, Neuro)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a focus on a bunch of super HY content that people often fail to pay attention to and hence get wrong on tests. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 130 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 10 (Peds)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a focus on Peds. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 129 – Targeted Pulm Review 1 For The USMLE Step 2CK (also useful for Step 1 and 3)
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 128 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 9 (IM) and a small update on the newer Step 2CK Questions.
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a focus on a large number of HY GI, Heme, and Onc concepts tested on Step 2. I also spend the first few mins giving my thoughts on the new Step 2CK questions that seem to be quite bothersome for people. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 127 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 8 (OBGYN)
In this episode, I discuss a host of HY pathologies that tend to be quite confusing on NBMEs for people (stuff like AIS, mullerian agenesis, etc). There’s lot of integration with IM, psych, and pharm here. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 126 – USMLE Step 2CK Rapid Review Series 7 (IM)
In this episode, I continue our rapid review series for the USMLE Step 2CK exam with a discussion of some especially HY concepts that present commonly on the test. There are no attached slides.
