Online Problem Based Learning (PBL)
• Online discussion evolving over two weeks. • Case opens with a chief complaint. • Discuss likely working hypotheses. • Casebook (complete H & P) opens.
– Subjective (HPI, PMH, PSH, FH, Social, Medications, Allergies, ROS)
– Objective (Vital signs, physical exam, diagnostics)

Online Problem Based Learning (PBL)
• Dialogue continues regarding ruling-in or ruling-out the working hypotheses based on casebook findings.
• Discuss the assessment and plan. • Individual SOAP note assignment following the
PBL case discussion.

SOAP Note Assignment
• Succinct note that recreates the patient encounter and a glimpse into the student’s understanding.
• Goldmine for evaluating NP students’ critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning and ability to apply their knowledge to a patient scenario.
• Teaches NP students to think like a primary care provider.
