One-minute Preceptor: SNAPPS for 1 minute precepting
SNAPPS is a learner-centered teaching approach to clinical education consisting of six steps. In learner-centered education, the learner takes 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. The preceptor takes on the role of a facilitator by promoting critical thinking, empowering the learner to have an active role in their education, and serving as a knowledge "presenter" rather than a knowledge "source".
