Divine Intervention Episode 23 – Comprehensive 3rd Year Psychiatry Shelf Review.

In this episode (a vodcast), I cover the vast majority of the HY material that is necessary for your 3rd year Psych Shelf. Slides attached.

Quick addendum/errata-The SOD1 mutation is associated with ALS. The ApoE mutation is associated with Alzheimer’s. Sorry!

Second errata, at 1:17:31 in Q 29b, I mis-speak and say that the dx is bipolar disorder, when it is in fact, borderline personality disorder. The tx is correct (dialectical behavioral therapy). Thanks!

Divine Intervention Episode 18 – Autonomic Pharmacology Part 1.

In this episode of the Divine Intervention Podcasts, we discuss autonomic pharmacology. This is often a difficult subject for people but it is actually fun and easy to understand with a “scenario based approach”. It is also HY to know this material for all the USMLEs and clinical practice/3rd year. This first part focuses on the physiology of the ANS (including receptors) and an integration of multiple pathologies (and other systems). My primary discussion of the drugs (in addition to their pharmacological mechanism of action) is a focus on “How can this be tested”?. This tends to be a more useful learning format. There are no attached slides as all necessary information is in the podcast.
