 If you were able to attend the ASPE conference in Denver this past June, you may have had the opportunity to browse the annual ASPE Bookstore. It provides a rare opportunity to peruse titles, some new and some that are tried and true, focused on the work we do as SP educators. Many books were popular this year; however, these "gems" were among the top sellers.

 I began my career in academic medicine about seven years ago, and (lucky for me!) got my start in a simulation program in an undergraduate medical education setting. I went on to work for a hospital-based simulation center, and about two years ago began a new job at a new institution. While my current role does not focus solely on simulation-based education, it does fall under my purview, and so I've found myself in the exciting and daunting position of building an SP program from (nearly) scratch.

For her next lesson, the teacher, a petite, dark-haired woman named Anna C. Sosa, shrugs off her red robe, kicks her striped socks into the footrests and steels herself for yet another potentially disastrous pelvic exam. It's a sweat-soaked summer morning outside Eastern Virginia Medical School's Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning, and inside this mock hospital room, three medical students in starched white lab coats stand wordlessly between Sosa's feet.

It might seem natural for new doctors to learn about the cost of the care they're providing, but, in fact, doctors have been taught to provide the best care possible, leaving the cost considerations aside. Now, in a stark departure from the past, the vast majority of the country's medical schools now integrate discussions of cost, value and effectiveness into their curricula.

Students at Fairleigh Dickinson University's School of Pharmacy will soon be able to expand their learning experience beyond the classroom. The Florham Park, New Jersey-based pharmacy school will begin allowing third-year students to attend sessions at a simulation lab this fall. The lab, which recreates a cardiac catheterization unit and operating room, enables students to acquire in-hospital experience without having to be at a real hospital.

 Do you ever wonder how you are doing each day in your current job? Do you only get an annual performance review and wish it were more frequent? Employee feedback is one of the hardest areas a leader must deal with. Each employee has his or her own personality, quirks and performance. And each may respond differently to both positive and negative feedback. Giving feedback can result in some conflict, but a leader must be able to give both types.

Data are everywhere. But in medicine, data aren't everything. Both patients and practitioners are able to answer many of their medical questions with the click of a mouse or touch of a screen. For those questions that require further investigation, new laboratory tests and high-tech medical imaging can help support (or refute) potential diagnoses. Yet some diagnoses fall through the cracks of these modern investigative tools.

Variations in Americans' experiences with healthcare, specifically regarding physician-patient communication and shared decision-making about treatment plans, are not well understood. A new study, which suggests that a patient's race/ethnicity may influence the amount and type of information they receive from physicians regarding treatment recommendations, is published online in the journal Patient Education and Counseling.

Although many employers offer flex time and remote work opportunities, our tether to technology makes it all too easy to keep logging time, long after we should be laying it aside. The problem is not only that too much work makes you less productive, but also that not taking time off makes employees feel like they aren't valued.

Business problems today are too big for any one person to solve. Agile teams are much more effective at solving problems than are lone geniuses. So why do we still reward the smartest people in the room more so than those who excel at working with others? You know the type: the people who brazenly take over meetings by showing off how much they know or how witty they can be at the expense of any other voice in the room.
