Recommendations for COHAT-focused CE this spring

I’m revising our clinic’s COHAT and prevention protocols and want CE that digs into evidence-based periodontal therapy — closed vs. open root planing, extraction case selection, regional nerve blocks, radiographic staging — and practical home-care strategies that improve compliance. Ideally 6–8 RACE-approved hours available May–June (online or Seattle-area in person); which courses or instructors have given you the most useful take‑home steps for better periodontal outcomes?

But if you want 6–8 hours in May–June, Dr. Brett Beckman’s online dentistry day hit extraction case selection, blocks, radiographic staging, and a sane take on closed vs open root planing. Biggest take‑home: pre‑block all four quadrants with bupivacaine before full‑mouth rads to keep the COHAT moving.

@VetGirl’s on-demand dentistry bundle with Dr. Donnell Hansen gave us 6 RACE hours on closed vs open, extraction selection, blocks, and rads — easy to finish by June. > quadrants with bupivacaine before full‑mouth rads to keep the COHAT moving. Same here; pre-blocking trimmed about 15 minutes off anesthesia for us, though I skip it if I expect a tricky airway until rads are done — would that fit your flow?

Have you thought about taking @VetGirl’s online course? I found their material on home-care compliance super practical and easy to implement. Also, Dr.
