Webinars

Webinars are a great way to breathe new life and professional development into those months between ASPE annual conferences. A Webinar is a seminar conducted over the Internet using a combination of conference calls and a website, or an online application for meetings. They are usually an hour long and begin with a presentation followed by a discussion between the presenters and attendees. We offer Webinars on a variety of subjects and at a variety of times to make them attractive and available to as many people as possible. All live webinars are free for both members and non-members. Check out our current webinars below, and register today!

Upcoming Webinar

Global Perspectives on Simulated Participant Practices:
Enhancing Inclusion for Diverse Populations of SPs

This session brings together international examples of adaptation and application simulated participant (SP) methodology to better serve the needs of diverse groups of SPs, such as older adults, children, and persons with disabilities. By addressing the specific needs of these populations, these adaptations can foster equity, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare simulation across different cultural and healthcare settings. Participants will explore strategies and solutions from various countries to ensure that SPs from underrepresented groups are effectively and respectfully included in simulation scenarios worldwide.

Presented By:

ASPE Listening Session:
SPs Beyond the Patient Role

A listening session is a safer space for participants to share thoughts and feelings on difficult, often emotional, topics. Its purpose is to foster a sense of community and connection. It is not intended for exploration of resolutions. For this session, we plan to discuss the impact of decreased funding many sim programs are currently experiencing and possible new roles for SPs. As always, the session will be open to anything participants need to discuss.

Listening Session details:

Relaxed structure;
Confidential, not recorded;
No attendance is kept;
Comments can be sent directly to the facilitators to protect anonymity; and
Turning on video cameras and participation during the session are completely optional.
