Description

The article structures its intervention as "four structured phases": sensitising preceptors with calibration exercises, baseline case writing by the traditional method with an MCQ pretest, sensitising residents to the six SNAPPS components, and SNAPPS-guided case presentation with checklist scoring, a post-test MCQ and a feedback survey. This phased design embeds the model in existing departmental activities rather than separate sessions.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Two trained preceptors supervising sessions
  • Standardized SNAPPS checklist with 5-point scoring per component

Constraints

  • Single-centre, convenience-sampled cohort of 35 residents; same cases used in both phases, which the authors note as a performance-bias risk

Target Learners

  • postgraduate pathology residents at three training levels

Learning Goals

  • structured case presentation
  • diagnostic reasoning
  • clinicopathological correlation
