What's the best strategy for effective - and time efficient - teaching in clinic?
A ๐Ÿงต for 4โƒฃ teaching strategies when ๐Ÿ•— is limited (& how they might be used in #neurology)
#MedEd #NeuroTwitter
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

2/
1โƒฃ One-minute preceptor (initially called: 5-step microskills)
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
5 steps & examples ๐Ÿ‘‡
Pros:
โœ… Assess learner's knowledge
โœ… ๐Ÿ‘ & constructive feedback "built in"
โœ… Clinical reasoning
โœ… Good for novice learners
Cons:
โ›”๏ธ "1 min" is a bit unrealistic
3/
2โƒฃ SNAPPS
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Pros:
โœ… Very learner-driven
โœ… Aligns well w/ traditional presentation model
โœ… Clinical reasoning
Cons:
โ›”๏ธ May not work as well for novice learners
4/
3โƒฃ SPIT
Pros:
โœ… Fast
โœ… Broaden DDx
โœ… In addition to traditional serious & probable lists, this emphasizes treatable
(A few of many examples in #childneurology: SMA, tidebc.org, P5P-dependent epilepsy)
Cons:
โ›”๏ธ Not as robust a model, but can be combined
5/
4โƒฃ Aunt Minnie
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Pros:
โœ… Pattern recognition
โœ… Requires learners to commit
Cons:
โ›”๏ธ May promote snap judgments
โ›”๏ธ I can't see this working as well with longer histories

SUMMARY
4 models of teaching when time is limited:
1โƒฃ One-minute preceptor: probing Q's
2โƒฃ SNAPPS: learner-driven
3โƒฃ SPIT: serious, probable, interesting, treatable
4โƒฃ Aunt Minnie: pattern recognition

So which strategy do you think is best?
