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!

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.
Note: NO prerequisites - Open to ASPE members and non-members - so please bring a friend/colleague. You do NOT need to read the book ahead of time. Your presence and insights are welcome no matter what, so please join us.

ASPE Listening Session
Diversity in Adversity: Effects of Federal DEI Policy Change on Healthcare Simulation Programs in the US
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.
As institutions and sim programs in the US struggle to understand, anticipate and accommodate sweeping changes in federal policy regarding DEI, we will center our discussion this month on this topic. While this may be US-focused, all members are invited to share and listen regarding challenges, as well as victories, around DEI efforts in your program.
Listening Session Details:
- Relaxed structure
- Confidential, not recorded
- No attendance is kept
- Comments can be sent directly to the facilitators to protect anonymity
- Turning on video cameras and participation during the session are completely optional
