SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select)
Week 5
assignment
Purpose
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. SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select).
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 theb preceptor/instructor by asking questions about uncertainties, difficulties, or
alternative approaches; SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select).
• 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. SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select).
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)
Category Points % Description
Summarize 10 10% A
brief and concise oral summary is presented from the pertinent facts.
Narrow the Differential Diagnosis 20 20% A minimum of two (2) but no more than
four (4) diagnoses are given in the differential.
Analyze the Differential 20 20% Differential
is analyzed using key findings to argue for and against hypothesis and ranks
the diagnoses in order of high to low likelihood.
Probe the Preceptor 10 10% Gaps,
points of confusion or dilemmas are identified in relation to the problem.
Plan Management 20 20% A
novice level diagnostic and therapeutic plan to manage the problem is proposed.
Self-Directed Learning 10 10% One
issue for self-directed learning as it relates to the case study is identified.
Paper Format 10 10% Self-directed
learning topic is researched and a written summary of what was learned is
submitted on the SNAPPS presentation TEMPLATE, using appropriate scholarly
references.
Total 100 100% A
quality assignment will meet or exceed all of the above requirements. SNAPPS (summarize, narrow, analyze, probe, plan, and select).
