I’ve no idea if you’re still working but I thought I’d let you know that I’m currently studying for my first board exam to become an orthopaedic surgeon. The “miscellaneous” portion of the exam counts for 5% of the exam. There are 20 topics that can be asked in this portion, one of which is how the autoclave works. I read a 5 minute Google search which gave the basics and I probably would have been able to answer that 1MCQ which would have counted for 0.5%. Instead I found myself watching your 1.5 hr lecture and thoroughly enjoying it. I’d just like to say your passion and enthusiasm shines through. I hope you are well and I hope you know you are appreciated all over the world. Take care Teach. In 7 years I’ll come back and let you know I’ve graduated.

I have done sterile process for 20 years and did not need to be certified because I had been grandfathered in but I got a job closer to home and so I had 2 years to get certified, needless to say I was so scared. I have never been good at taking test and I failed all the practice test until the night before I had to take the test I stumbled along Steve's videos and I just want to say he is awsome, I really don't think I would have passed if not for him. I was taking the test and if there was something I didn't know I remembered him talking about it. I just want to say THANK YOU!!! You just don't know how much I appreciate it. Steve you rock!!!!

I am a Certified Surgical Technologist, I started a job some years back at a smaller hospital and kinda got thrown into sterile processing after the lady who was in it quit. Now upon taking over this roll I learned so much and gained a whole new respect for sterile processing. I started questioning the process and started teaching myself and learning the correct way to run a sterile processing department on my own. Long story short these videos helped me so much! I am so grateful for them. Today I finally took my exam for certification in SPD, and I passed! So now I am a Certified Surgical Technologist and a Certified Sterile Processing Technician. I couldn’t be prouder!! Thank you Steve!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. 6 months ago I embarked on this journey. I self study the material, and watched your videos faithfully . I'm happy to say that I passed my test today. Now I am I
starting a new journey as I begin my career.

I recently became our hospital's SPD Manager. I have been in Sterile Processing for 10 years and have gone through the ranks of Coordinator to Supervisor to now Manager. I find your teaching skills facinating! You do a great job at capturing your "student's" attention and keeping them locked in. You have a great gift! I will definitely be telling my techs about your videos. You explain everything as if you're explaining it to someone off the street. Great job! Funny thing...I'm shipping up to Boston in just a few days for vacation! Go Sox!!!!

[vivencioruizjr]

Thanks Steve I pass my exam yesterday here in UAE, you''re teaching was a great help! God bless you and family!👍

[desireeeaster]

Your videos and notes on central sterile processing is phenomenal and I’m so glad that my friend recommendation me your videos. I just took my certification test today and passed !!! Thank you, for the great teaching and presentation

[jammetmalibu]

I passed !! I studied the book and got the workbook, did every activity in it. I watched your videos again and again. Thank you, professor Steve. My director said she was proud of me and I cried. Thank you always.

[bobtx]

Great videos Steve! I studied the book, spent more time with you than my wife for two weeks, went in and passed the IAHCSMM exam. I am now certified. Thanks for posting these!

I'm in the process of moving to go to a school for Sterlization Processing. I came across your videos, and am actually taking notes as if I was in your classroom. I remember the first one I watched was the Microbiology basics. I was laughing hysterically. I like how your very simple at explaining detailed information. I've enjoyed the "inside, " medical jokes, or how you would try to playfully tease your students. I only have leeway due to going to college for dentistry Oh gosh it's just great. I had an Anatomy teacher...he couldn't teach very well, even though I got an A in his class, your one of the best instructors I've seen teaching. Hope to see more, think you do a fantastic job and enjoy your stories and comical relief you share while teaching. Your students are VERY LUCKY to have an intelligent instructor. Oh! By the way....in between classes, try the heavy duty magic eraser, it will make the board look amazing, a pain but it slips off like water! Good luck, Steve! Oh another thing, I banned soda out of my house, we don't drink it that much but after you explained it oh light blub, HELLO!!! and proud to say my 2 year old has never had soda, holly smokes! to see crazy parents have that in bottles...and koolaide? AND GIVE IT to their infants and toddlers! I've seen things in clinics that people would never believe, it's SO terrible. Should be banned.

I started with these videos and now I'm back for a refresher because I started at a new hospital and I let my knowledge slide. Thank goodness these are still around!! Thank you for all you do!
