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.

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.

ASPE Book Cafe
Essentialism; the Disciplined Pursuit of Less
Book Café is an open space for ASPE and Non-ASPE members to unite for camaraderie and the love of books. Our aims are simple: promote lifelong learning, build relationships, and have fun!
Mark your calendars, read ahead (optional), and JOIN US for the first (of 3) exploratory discussions on the theme of Professional Resilience. For this event, we’ll be unpacking the book Essentialism; the Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. As simulation grows/expands, and budgetary belts tighten, it’s increasingly important that we pare away the distractions and drill down on what’s mission-critical for the benefit of our learners, our teams, and our own sanity.☺ As the author insists, “Only once we discern what is absolutely essential… can we make our highest possible contribution towards the things that truly matter.”
Pro tip: For a real treat, check out the audiobook edition read by the author.
Note: NO prerequisites - Open to members and non-members so please share the registration link with peers, colleagues, and our beloved SP teammates. You do NOT need to have read the book ahead of time. Your presence and insights are welcome no matter what, so please join us.
DATE: Thursday, October 23, 2025
