The Asian Standardised Patient Educator Collaborative (AsiaSPEC) is proud to present a 3-day conference designed to promote Simulated Participant (SP) methodology in Asia. The theme of the conference is “Innovating SP methodology to strengthen humanism in healthcare education across Asia”. The conference will provide relevant and up-to-date information in this field through pre-conference workshops, plenary lectures, symposiums, panel discussions, small group interactions, oral and poster presentations. Topics will include SP programme management, case writing, SP training, feedback, assessment and quality assurance. There will also be opportunities for delegates to meet and network with practitioners and experts from around the world.

This conference is organised by the AsiaSPEC, formed by a group of SP educators in Asia who are passionate about SP methodology and its many applications in healthcare professional education. Our mission is to promote SP methodology in Asia, to connect SP educators in Asia for networking, collaboration and to share resources. We look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful city of Nagoya for this inaugural conference from 25 to 27 April 2025.
