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.

Lead-Dx: Advancing Equity in Simulation through Standardized Patient Partnered Co-Design

According to the National Academies' Ending Unequal Treatment report (2024), health inequities remain pervasive despite decades of improvement efforts. Lead-Dx (Learning Equity, Addressing Disparities in Diagnosis) is an innovative educational framework that addresses inequities of diagnosis through patient-partnered simulation design. Central to the framework is the engagement of Standardized Patients (SPs) as co-designers, leveraging both their lived experiences of healthcare inequity and their expertise in simulation-based education to create authentic, equity-focused scenarios. Lead-Dx elevates the role of SPs beyond role portrayal to active collaborators in simulation design, aligning with ASPE Standards of Best Practice that recognize SP expertise as a valuable educational resource. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the Lead-Dx framework and explore practical strategies for partnering with SPs as co-designers to develop diagnostic-focused simulation scenarios that are authentic, scalable, and aligned with ASPE Standard 2.1.3, which emphasizes the use of authentic problems while avoiding bias and stereotyping. Attendees will leave with actionable approaches for implementing diagnostic equity-focused, co-designed simulation within their own programs.
