CE recommendations for endo asepsis and microscopy

Anyone have CE they liked that goes deep on maintaining sterile fields and microscope draping during RCTs? I’m the endo assistant in a two-op microsuite and handle rubber dam isolation, NiTi file reprocessing, and NaOCl/EDTA irrigation setup, and I want a course that covers evidence-based asepsis plus microscope ergonomics — live or virtual is fine.

But i’d pair OSAP with AAE Endo on Demand — OSAP for evidence-based reprocessing and sterile field protocols, AAE for microscope draping/ergonomics content (https://endoondemand.aae.org). In a two-op microsuite, pre-drape scopes and bag the joystick knobs before dam placement to speed turnover; caveat: OSAP isn’t endo‑specific but it’s the gold standard. Do you want live hands-on or strictly virtual?

If you want a microscope-specific angle, ZEISS Dental Academy has free webinars with live demos on draping and ergonomics (replays: https://www.zeiss.com/dental/med/education.html). As a concrete step, run a 10‑minute mock “sterile field drill” with your endodontist to time drape changes and NaOCl/EDTA handoffs — practice trims the chaos. @rhernandez06 do you recall which AAE module contrasts sleeve swaps vs full bag drapes?

, NiTi reprocessing guidance is all over the place — HuFriedyGroup’s free CE on instrument turnover/monitoring nailed IFU-based steps and helped us standardize cassettes and cycle tracking for files (https://education.hufriedygroup.com). For scope workflow, Global Surgical’s bite-size modules had practical assistant positioning and clean cover application without fogging, which translated well to our two-op microsuite (https://globalsurgical.com/education). Do you need live credits or is on-demand fine?
