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 Webinars

2025 ASPE Human Simulation Research Forum

2025 ASPE Human Simulation Research Forum

When you think about your everyday practice working with simulated participants/patients (SPs), what are you most curious about?

We will explore this question together at the inaugural ASPE Human Simulation Research Forum led by the ASPE Grants & Research Committee members. Forum facilitators will encourage attendees to dialogue in community with other SP educators, simulation leaders, researchers, and professionals working with Human Simulation to:

  • Support ASPE members and others seeking to produce scholarship utilizing SP Methodology with practical, research methods skills;
  • Highlight current scholarly work of ASPE members;
  • Identify opportunities for future scholarship on SP methodology ;
  • Establish ASPE as the organizational leader of scholarship related to SP methodology and Human Simulation;
  • Extend the ASPE SOBP by providing additional professional development to members seeking further scholarship guidance; 
  • Develop an ASPE-driven research agenda; and 
  • Produce and disseminate related educational innovations and research.

No previous research experience is needed to participate—all are welcome!

ASPE Book Café 

Big Magic, Creative Living Beyond Fear

This Book Café is an open space for ASPE members and non-members to unite for camaraderie and the love of books. Our aim is simple: promote lifelong learning, build relationships, and have fun!

April’s offering is Big Magic, Creative Living Beyond Fear. A short, but mighty book, Big Magic is inspiring, provocative, and hilarious in equal measure. Join us to explore what ignites our creativity and what fans the flame. What forces (both internal and external) seek to extinguish it and what can we do individually and together to keep our creativity ablaze!

Pro tip: For a real treat, check out the audiobook edition read by the author.
