Divine Intervention Episode 44 – USMLE Anatomy Series Part 1

In today’s episode, I use clinical cases and routine questions to cover anatomy content pertinent to the USMLE exams (especially Step 1). These are also potentially useful for the 3rd year surgery shelf. In consideration of the info dense nature of anatomy, the material will be discussed over a series of podcasts in bite sized pieces. Anatomy is relatively difficult to study for (especially for Step 1). The ultimate goal of these podcasts is to highlight HY, classically tested scenarios. Slides attached.

Divine Intervention Episode 43 – The HY Medical Student (A Guide For MS1’s)

In this episode, I go over general strategies that should set up an M1 for success. About half the podcast is spent on specifics. The other half is spent on more general ideas that should be applicable at most (if not all) med schools. I discuss study strategies, USMLE prep, research, and a few other housekeeping things. Watch out for a potential podcast in the future on specific USMLE Step 1 resources. Slides attached.

Divine Intervention Episode 40 – Neuro Pharmacology Part 3 (Anesthetics and Opioids).

In this episode, we continue our treatise on Neuro Pharmacology. As always, I spend time talking not only about core knowledge but spending time on the most likely means by which the knowledge will be tested.

Divine Intervention Episode 38 – Neuro Pharmacology Part 1.

In this high yield episode, I discuss the pathophysiology of about 10-20 neurologic diseases and then discuss a lot of pharmacology as matching the associated disease pathophysiology. I integrate a lot of biochemistry, psychiatry, and endocrinology which are all exam relevant. No slides attached as all relevant information is in the podcast.

Divine Intervention Episode 37 – Risk Factors, Preventive Medicine, and Screening Guidelines.

In this episode, I discuss a large majority of the most important risk factors for commonly tested NBME diseases (including OBGYN). I also discuss high yield screening guidelines and “most common causes of death”. Easy points if you know this stuff on test day. Relevant for Step 1-3 and the M3 Shelf exams. No slides attached as all relevant information is in the podcast.

Divine Intervention Episode 36 – USMLE Ophthalmology.

In this podcast, I cover the great majority of the ophthalmology that would classically be tested on a medicine shelf, peds shelf, surgery shelf, Step 1/2CK/3, and the M3 neurology shelf with the most benefit being for the medicine shelf/Step 2CK/3. For those studying for the medicine shelf, consider this as an addition to the medicine reviews (ophthalmology was the significant thing lacking in those comprehensive recordings). This material will almost certainly be tested in some way on a medicine/surgery shelf. You definitely don’t want to blow this off. You will pay dearly. Slides attached.
