SNAPPS is a learner-centered approach to case presentation
in the clinical setting. This model allows the student to take an active role
in their educational encounter by discussing the patient encounter beyond the
facts, verbalizing their clinical reasoning, asking questions, and engaging in
follow-up learning pertinent to the educational encounter. This exercise is
designed to develop the student’s ability to organize patient information in a
meaningful way and guide the student in their oral patient presentations in the
clinical setting.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the
ability to:
1) Summarize
patient findings into an organized oral presentation. (CO 1, 6)
2) Demonstrate
clinical reasoning skills. (CO 1)
3) Identify their
own knowledge gaps and inquire about uncertainties, difficulties, or
alternative approaches. (CO 2)
4) State a
diagnostic and therapeutic plan for management of a patient. (CO 4)
5) Select a
case-related issue for self-study. (CO 3, 4)
Due Date:
The oral presentation and written assignment are due by
Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT.
Total Points Possible:
100
Requirements:
1. Using a patient
seen in their clinical setting, students will give an oral presentation (via
Voice Thread or Kaltura) using the 6-step learner-centered SNAPPS model to:
· Summarize
briefly the history and findings;
· Narrow the differential to three relevant
possibilities;
· Analyze the
differential by comparing and contrasting the possibilities;
· Probe the
preceptor/instructor by asking questions about uncertainties, difficulties, or
alternative approaches;
· Plan
management for the patient’s medical issues; and
· Select a
case-related issue for self-directed learning
2. In addition to
the oral presentation, the student will submit a written summary using the
template provided.
3. As part of the
summary, the student will research the self-directed learning topic that was
identified in the oral presentation to provide a written summary of what was
learned using appropriate evidence-based, scholarly references.
4. In-text
citations and reference list provided must be in APA format.
5. The presentation
must be submitted to the Week 5 discussion board before Sunday, 11:59 p.m.
MT. The written portion of the
assignment must be submitted on the template provided to the assignment box
before Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
Preparing the paper
The written portion of this assignment is to be completed on
the corresponding SNAPPS WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT TEMPLATE which will be submitted to
the assignment box. There is also a
SNAPPS ORAL PRESENTATION TEMPLATE which should serve as a guide for the oral
presentation only (it is NOT submitted). Correct grammar, punctuation, and
spelling should be observed. In-text
citations and reference page should follow APA format. Scholarly evidence-based
medicine (EBM) references must be used.
Additionally, the following parameters should be set in the
template before you begin:
· Font: Times
New Roman 11pt
· Single space
· Spacing set
at 0pt before and after paragraphs (under page layout)
