    Many nurse practitioner students feel ready for clinicals on content, but don’t know how to present a patient to their preceptor. In this episode of the DNP Faculty Podcast, host Dr. Michael Maymi talks with Dr. Danielle Chaplin and Dr. Kim Castillio. All three are nurse practitioners, preceptors, and faculty at the University of Florida College of Nursing. They discuss how they teach the SNAPPS model in their Advanced Health Assessment course.

    SNAPPS is a learner-centered framework for case presentations:

    • Summarize the history and findings briefly
    • Narrow the differential to two or three likely diagnoses
    • Analyze the differential by comparing and contrasting the possibilities
    • Probe the preceptor about anything uncertain or confusing
    • Plan management, including diagnostics and treatment
    • Select a case-related issue for self-directed learning

    In this episode:

    • Why case presentation is the biggest gap for students, and how long, disorganized presentations strain busy preceptors in a state already short on NP preceptors
    • How SNAPPS differs from the One-Minute Preceptor by giving the student ownership of the presentation
    • A live 90-second demonstration of SNAPPS for a patient with otitis externa
    • The pre-clinical immersion role-play, where students take turns as NP student, patient, and preceptor to build empathy and skill
    • How students have responded, including the SNAPPS pocket card they bring to clinicals
    • Advice for faculty in other programs: start small, and write cases around common complaints

    2026/10/23
    Send us Fan MailEpisode Overview: Welcome back to the quick-hitting clinical deep dive for primary care Nurse Practitioners. In this episode, Dr. Maymi and Dr. Bumbach tackle a challenge every primary care clinician wrestles with: engaging men in preventive health and well-male exams.Tune in as we break down the staggering mortality benefits of five core lifestyle behaviors, debunk common clinical myths surrounding Testosterone Replacement Therapy versus exercise, and walk through age-appropriate screening frameworks for blood pressure, lipids, colorectal cancer, AAA, lung cancer, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) shared decision-making. Plus, we explore gender-sensitized communication strategies and physical activity levers to break through structural stigma and support men's mental health.Key Topics Covered:The Power of 5 Modifiable Behaviors: How adhering to never smoking, healthy BMI, daily exercise, moderate alcohol, and high diet quality yields up to an 82% reduction in cardiovascular mortality.Exercise vs. TRT: Why supervised exercise—not exogenous testosterone—is the gold standard for cardiometabolic and endothelial health in aging men.Targeted Preventive Screening Frameworks: High-yield age and risk-factor cutoffs for colorectal cancer, lung cancer (LDCT), AAA ultrasound, lipid panels, and prostate cancer screening.Men's Mental Health & Stigma: Overcoming stoicism using strength-based framing, peer connectedness, and vigorous physical activity as a frontline mood intervention.Subscribe and leave a review to stay sharp on the latest evidence-based clinical practices for your primary care clinic tomorrow morning!Learning ObjectivesObjective 1: Evaluate & Prescribe Evidence-Based Lifestyle Medicine InterventionsLearning Outcome: Differentiate the cardiometabolic and mortality outcomes of modifiable lifestyle behaviors versus pharmacologic or hormonal therapies (e.g., exercise vs. testosterone replacement therapy) to formulate evidence-based lifestyle prescriptions for aging men. NONPF Competency Alignment: Competency 2 (Practice Inquiry & Scientific Foundations): Translates scientific evidence into clinical practice to optimize health outcomes.Competency 4 (Practice Delivery / Clinical Expertise): Synthesizes clinical data and evidence to prescribe non-pharmacologic and lifestyle interventions for disease prevention and cardiometabolic risk reduction. AACN Essentials Alignment:Domain 1: Knowledge for Nursing Practice: Integration of core nursing and biophysical sciences into advanced clinical decision-makingDomain 4: Practice Inquiry for Nursing Practice: Application of current research evidence to improve health outcomes and challenge clinical misconceptions (e.g., TRT myths) Objective 2: Apply Targeted Preventive Screening Frameworks in Primary CareLearning Outcome: Execute age- and risk-appropriate preventive screening protocols—including vascular (AAA), oncologic (colorectal, lung, prostate), and metabolic (diabetes/lipids) screenings—using shared decision-making models tailored to patient risk profiles. NONPF Competency Alignment:Competency 4 (Independent Practice / Direct Care): Demonstrates clinical competence in health promotion, disease prevention, and individualized risk assessment across the adult lifespan.AACN Essentials Alignment:Domain 3: Population Health: Implementation of clinical prevention strategies to reduce chronic disease burden and target population-specific mortality drivers. Domain 6: Interprofessional Partnerships: Utilizing collaborative communication and shared decision-making principles during sensitive cancer screening discussions (e.g., PSA screening). Objective 3: Implement Gender-Sensitized Mental Health StrategiesLearning Outcome: Identify gender-specific barriers to health-seeking behavior in men and integrate strength-based, gender-tailored communication strategies and lifestyle levers (e.g., physical activity, peer connectedness) to improve male mental health screening and engagementNONPF Competency Alignment: Competency 1 (Culturally Responsive Care / Diversity & Equity): Adapts clinical communication and care plans to address gender-specific cultural norms, stigma, and health disparities.Competency 3 (Communication & Interprofessional Care): Employs effective, non-stigmatizing communication techniques to engage vulnerable or reluctant patient populations.AACN Essentials Alignment:Domain 2: Person-Centered Care: Delivering holistic, empathetic, and tailored care that respects patient identity, values, and psychosocial barriers.Domain 9: Professionalism: Recognizing structural and social determinants of health (including masculine norms and stigma) that contribute to health disparities and suicide risk in men.

  • Introduction to the DNP Faculty Lead Podcast Channel

    Introduction to the DNP Faculty Lead Podcast Channel
    2026/09/30
    Send us Fan MailWelcome to the DNP Faculty Podcast. Today, Dr. Maymi and Dr. Bricker will introduce our new podcast. Below is the transcript for today's Episode. Welcome, everybody. Today, we're launching our very 1st podcast here at the University of Florida College of Nursing. My name is Dr. Michael Maymi. I am a clinical associate professor and specialty director for the pediatric Acue Care and Dual Track DNP programs here at the College of Nursing. Today I'm being joined with one of my favorite colleagues. and host, Dr. Christina Bricker. Dr. Bricker. Would you go ahead and introduce yourself? Thank you, Dr. Maymi. Christina Bricker. Also a clinical associate professor here at the College of Nursing, the University of Florida. specialty director of the family nurse practitioner track, and I'm very happy to be here with you today. Awesome, awesome. So Dr. Bricker and I actually were brainstorming earlier this year and wanted to develop a podcast that was really driven by the faculty, but is for the student experience in our graduate program. So, Dr. Bricker, what are some of the ideas that we talked about that you really want to highlight in our 1st podcast? Absolutely. We plan to cover the different tracks that we offer here at the University of Florida. So those who are interested in applying to our programs will understand more about each track, and which track might be best for them, to apply for depending on their career goals, and their personal aspirations. We also plan to cover things that are important to current students, that may not be as easy to cover in classes, such as perhaps examples of leadership, different leadership levels, professional growth, things like that. Yeah, exactly. I think when we talk about you know, the description of our programs. We want to, you know, give you the best advice when you're selecting the program that you want to get into, and try to demystify some of the myths that are out there, like which programs you have to go into to get into certain areas. And then I also like some of the, what you mentioned about the topics that we want to teach in the classroom, but sometimes don't make their way in the classroom. So this would be a great place to come and listen to some of the expertise and some of the advice that faculty would give students as they're getting prepared to start that transition from nurse to nurse practitioner. Excellent. What are some ideas that you think our students can participate in with these podcasts? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, students will love to participate in these podcasts, I think. They can do podcasts about the student experience, what it's like to go to their 1st clinical site. Students, can talk about patients, how they interact with patients, how they've grown and the nurse practitioner role. It's a huge transition to grow from registered nurse to nurse practitioner, and they can talk about that growth, and then other students can relate to that. I think so. I think that's awesome The other thing I plan on doing with like my graduate students in my program is I'm going to have them produce their own podcasts, right? And they'll take the, you know, the center stage and be able to talk and disseminate about some of their clinical experiences or some of the disorders that they're seeing regularly within the program. And I think that's a great way for us to really express and establish some of the competency-based education. You know, with competency-based education, we have to give them classroom education, provide them with clinical experiences. And then it's the repetition that they'll see throughout the program. And being able to come back and disseminate that on this type of platform, I think is super engaging and very motivational for the students to do. Absolutely. All right. I think other areas that we're considering, I think we talked about, we wanted to make sure that we had some educational opportunities. So I really see having a couple of series of podcasts on precepting. So we can provide education directly to our preceptors. And then having maybe even some of our preceptors come on as guests, where we can ask them, you know, real life questions on, you know, what they've experienced and how they have seen the growth from our students from the very 1st clinical experience as they transition into that growth into becoming nurse practitioners. Alright. This kind of sums up our 1st podcast. Again, this one's gonna be relatively short, but be on the lookout. I'm going to be producing one within the next couple of days on the pediatric acue care program, and then Dr. Bricker and I are going to have another podcast where we'll talk about the family nurse practitioner program. And once we get our um, channel up and we have our webpage available. I'll have a link in there for you guys to put in request. So if the students or our audience has requests for certain podcasts that they'd like us to go through and ...
