Read about how a short, shy, goofy, nerdy, show tune loving surgical technician with a funny name went from making $35,000 a year (working 50 to 60 hours a week, taking everybody's call, and thinking he was going to have to get out of surgery and into computers to make a decent living) to being a surgery dynamo and making $105,000 a year with a flexible 20 hour work week!
Dan is using the success insights and secret methods he developed over the years to help his medical students achieve his level of success – or better. In fact, many of Dan’s students and protégés have far surpassed his highest income after applying Dan’s exclusive training secrets.
A Letter From Dan
Here's Dan's story as he tells it. Find out how his unique experience can change your life.
“I'm Dan Bump - that short guy with the funny name who made it big in surgery. When I first heard about surgical assisting for surgical techs and OR nurses, I wasn’t making enough money in the hospital no matter how much call I took. It saddened me to think I might have to leave surgery so I could provide for my wife and children the way I thought a good husband and father should.
I loved surgery so much you could often here me at the scrub sink singing (poorly) renditions of my favorite show tunes. I was in my element and very happy working with surgeons and the rest of the surgical team. Surgery defined me. The last thing I wanted to do was change careers.
Then one day out of the blue, I was given an opportunity to join a group of self-employed Surgical Assistants in Denver where: 1) I’d get to stay in surgery instead of going into computers; 2) I’d get even closer to the surgery, working hand-in-hand with the surgeon like a partner; 3) I’d make more money; and 4) I’d be my own boss.
It’s hard to say which of these 4 benefits was the strongest selling point. What pushed me over the top was the assisting agency, Colorado Surgical Assisting, Inc. (CSA), offered a training program which was excellent preparation for real-world practice and led to my ultimate success.
