Dear ASPE Members – The ASPE Board and Conference Committees have been hard at work this past month on organizational initiatives and the plans for the 2012 ASPE Conference. Both the board and the Conference Content Subcommittee had the opportunity to meet in San Diego this year following the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare, and to see where we’ll be in just a few short months. The venue and the surroundings are spectacular, and the abstract submissions for the conference program are top-notch. This will be a terrific conference, and we all hope to see you there.
