The ACESA Surgical Assistant Program
transforms your surgery job into a dream career!
Plus a surprise income you never thought possible without
going to medical school! Just what the doctor ordered.
If you could take a convenient, affordable course today that would dramatically increase your surgical skills, seriously boost your job satisfaction, and double or triple your income, would you want it?
As you read through each word on this web page, you will begin to discover new opportunities for career advancement you never imagined. “Eye-opening” or “seeing a light at the end of the tunnel” don’t begin to do your discoveries justice. Each paragraph, each bullet reveals fresh insights that give you new hope.
You already know that many surgeons enjoy performing surgery with their non-MD surgical assistants (first assistants) far more than working with their surgeon partners. So, how can YOU make that kind of difference? The answer may surprise you. The doors to amazing career and income opportunities will open wide if you just use the 2 keys described next.
The first key is 'driven by mission.' You must have a desire to be truly helpful. This has to be your mission. Amazingly, desire alone makes you stand out from the rest. Driven by mission, you’ll do whatever it takes to master surgical technique, make the surgery go smoothly, and cause your surgeons to enjoy working with you so much they’ll reschedule cases so you can assist. And what does it take?
The second key is 'proper training.' Not just any training will give you master-level results. Most courses don't even try! The right kind of training is the difference between entry-level surgical performances that limit you to holding retractors... and the thrill of using the same set of skills a surgeon has to assist on a deeper, more helpful, and more gratifying level.
What makes the ACESA program so different from the rest? You get all of this:
1) 6-Day Surgical SkillLab
|
2) 9 Month SurgiNet Distance-Learning
3) 135 cases SurgiEdge Clinical Internship
|
See yourself standing directly across the OR table from the surgeon. You are expertly using your surgical skills to perform your half of the procedure under surgeon supervision. You are engaged in such high-level tasks as ligating pedicles, dissecting tissues, and cauterizing bleeders. How great does that feel? When the procedure is finished, you close the wound while the surgeon writes orders.
Do you feel the pride of being trusted with such exciting responsibilities and of a job well done?
Imagine the feeling you get when the surgeon reaches across the OR table, shakes your hand, and says: “Thanks for your help.”

Enough amateur first assisting!
Dramatically elevate your assisting skills in just 6 days.
"Great work! It was a tough case and you had everything under control." You’ve heard this before. You are an expert scrub. But do you ever feel like an amateur when you need to first assist?
You may HAVE TO first assist when a scheduled assistant doesn't show up. The surgeon counts on you. But it’s discouraging when one moment you are an expert and the next you are the amateur in the room.
When you dream of first assisting, do you picture yourself just holding retractors? Or do you watch the way surgeons first assist and long to assist like they do?
We have the expertise and experience you need! You get it from our 6-day Surgical SkillLab and by finishing the rest of the Surgical Assistant Program. Now you can successfully pursue the American Dream as a Surgical Assistant because we make proper training convenient and affordable.
Imagine hands-on training so effective that you’ll perform like a seasoned expert after just 6 days!
Imagine the look on your surgeon’s face when you exhibit surgeon-level skills!
Imagine how thrilled your employer will be when, like a one man army, you increase their revenue, decrease their liability, produce happier surgeons, and make the surgery schedule run more smoothly!
Imagine receiving an income from surgery you thought you'd have to get out of healthcare or enroll in medical school to earn!

How I stopped working 50, 60, or more
hours a week and taking extra call just to get by!
“My life was just like yours before I hit the breaks, said I wasn’t going to take it anymore, and did only one thing that changed it all for me and my family.
I’m going to tell you what changed my life in a moment but first, let me say just how was my life was like yours? I was scrubbing 50-60 hours a week and taking everyone’s call, as many as I could. Still, we were just scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck. You know how it goes.
To this day, I recall the daily financial pressures and the crushing guilt I felt over neglecting my other family responsibilities because I was in surgery so much. Stuck in the rat race, there didn’t seem to be a way out.
Then in an instant, like a lightning flash, my whole world changed. One decision – that’s all it takes. You can change the world with one decision.
I decided to become a freelance Surgical Assistant. Just making the decision was liberating. The moment you get on your path, your whole outlook changes. How do I explain? It’s a bit simplistic but… your problems suddenly feel temporary. You get unstuck! You should feel what that does for your disposition.
How did freelance assisting work for me?
- My first year I earned $105,000! And that continued steadily every year thereafter.
- I only assisted 20-25 hours a week to earn my six-figure income!
- It’s been a real blessing to earn enough, to spend more time with my wife and children, and to work at something that gives me tremendous joy and satisfaction.
But something still wasn't right in my world...
I was really enjoying my dream career and income. What could possibly be wrong? In 1989, the only way to get training as a Surgical Assistant was to join an assisting agency with a training program for their employees or freelance subcontractors.
Agencies offered apprentice-type training programs and you were lucky if you found a good one. On top of that, training opportunities were very limited. For instance, our agency could only train 1 person per year.
I was assisting Dr. Davis with an open appendectomy one evening. Dr. Davis was a great pleasure to work with. He enjoyed surgery so much and he wanted everyone else to enjoy it as much as he did. So, when it was time to tie off the appendix, he asked me to step back and he gave the scrub nurse the opportunity to tie.
This made a big impression on me. First, what a joy it is to provide opportunities! Second, she didn’t tie very well because she wasn’t properly trained. But what if she was? What could she have made of this unexpected opportunity? How many times every day are opportunities like this wasted?
And then I was struck as if by lightning. In an incredible AH-HA moment, I discovered what was wrong in my life. I wasn’t pursuing my ‘greater mission.’ Before this sudden mind-shift, I didn’t even know what it was. But Dr. Davis, a scrub nurse, and a wasted opportunity made my greater mission instantly clear.
I had to make excellent training opportunities available to a greater number of people so they could have my success in surgery or better. The American Center for Excellence in Surgical Assisting is born of this mission. And guess what? Many ACESA graduates make more money than I ever did in surgery. Mission accomplished! I couldn’t be more excited.” Dan Bump, ACESA Founder
If you are going to work 60 hours a week, you should be getting ahead - not just getting by. We teach the knowledge and skills it takes to:
- Make more money - you can earn a 6-figure income! We'll show you how.
- Earn the respect and trust of your surgeons and peers!
- Gain elevated status - qualify for national Surgical Assistant certification!
- Get a front row seat to the surgical action - right across from the surgeon!
- First assist like surgeons do!
- Blow away the liability of untrained, uncertified first assisting!
Full of new skills. I am thrilled!
"I was extremely tired after the first day - mentally! I was pleased with the curriculum from the first day and the rest of the week proved to be just as full of new skills and knowledge. I am walking away with more knowledge than I imagined I would gain in a 6-day period. Your teaching methods are wonderful. I am feeling empowered - by the knowledge you have given me during this lab. I am very enthusiastic about the next phase of this program as I know I am going to gain knowledge and increase my skill level exponentially. I am thrilled at where that will lead me professionally. The SA role will be new to our area and I look forward to the opportunity of raising the level of expertise for myself as well as my peers. I will whole-heartedly recommend your program to all wishing to expand their educational and professional possibilities." Jennifer Nelson, CV First Assistant St. Joseph Hospital Fort Wayne, IN |
The program is enjoyable and challenging.
“This experience has been enjoyable and challenging. The step-by-step skills lab and the anatomy lectures are worth the cost alone.” Dennis Dingus, RN Scenic Mountain Medical Center Big Spring, TX |
Makes me stand out as an expert.
“ACESA is very well organized. I feel that they concentrated on the skills that would best make me an excellent SA-C. On the third day, as well as the towards the end of the second, I really started to feel my skills and knowledge coming together. It was very exciting. My main benefit, other than the obvious suturing & tying skills, was the 'small things' that will make me stand out as an expert in my surgeons' minds. The SkillLab will be of great benefit to anyone in the surgical field. I feel that the lab, as well as the curriculum, will help me to achieve my goals as an independent SA-C. Dan brings knowledge and skills that are little known but easily reproduced. His teaching style is outstanding and I feel that I will become much more desirable than some of my colleagues who do not have this formal training.” Raylan Smith, CST Northwest Medical Center Margate, FL |

The rewards can be unlimited.
"ACESA is in a word excellent! The personal, one-on-one training helps keep your goals in reach. This program is a life-changing experience. The training is very user-friendly and provides excellent resources. The work can be challenging but there is a strong network of support to help. The knowledge is exceptional and the rewards can be unlimited. If you are looking for excellent surgical skills and financial freedom, I highly recommend this program." James Utt, ST, Medical Assistant, EMT Surgical Specialists of Cushing Cushing, OK |
This program changed my life! "ACESA is a great company! I recommend it 100% to everybody. My experience was wonderful. Now I know how to tie and close wounds using different techniques. I am very happy. I am ready to assist. This program changed my life! Thank you very much for everything. This is the best program." Hector Rivera, CST Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center Davenport, FL |
Why will your employer be happy
enough with your training to give you a raise?
Once your employer discovers the following benefits, they won’t be merely happy… It'll knock their socks off!
- ACESA training will transform you into a revenue generator for your employer.
- A well-trained first assistant can generate $200,000+ a year.
-
You fix your employer's liability. When you first assist without training and your task is recorded incorrectly as second scrubbing, your employer liability is dramatically increased! The only solution is proper first assistant training for all scrub professionals.
-
The Joint Commission wants to know that you are properly trained for the tasks you perform. Your training effectively removes any concern about the status of the hospital’s accreditation.
-
Your Director of Surgical Services, OR Manager, Risk Manager, and Hospital CEO can all take a deep breath and relax. You’ve fixed so many of their problems, a pay raise probably won’t even raise an eyebrow.
-
Administration already funds continuing education as an employee benefit with little or no benefit to the hospital. This program is easy on the budget and everybody benefits, including patients and surgeons.
How else do employers hit the jackpot with an ACESA trained first assisting staff?
-
Keep surgeons happy! Surgeons enjoy and benefit greatly from skilled assistants they can trust.
-
Attract new surgeons! A skilled assisting staff is a powerfully effective recruiting incentive.
-
Increase OR utilization! Assistants alone can generate notable revenue, but more surgeries go right to the bottom line - big time!

Mid way through the SurgiEdge Clinical Internship: “I feel very proficient. Without the ACESA Skill Lab and in-depth distance learning course I would not have the confidence in myself to work so closely with the surgeons as a first assist, which in turn allows the surgeon the confidence to utilize me in such an important role.” At completion of the SurgiEdge Clinical Internship: “The improvement and self-confidence from the start of the program to the finish is like night and day – huge difference! The depth of the program has really made the difference in my skills.” Heather Shepherd, ST Harrison Memorial Hospital Cynthiana, KY |
Regarding the SurgiEdge Clinical Internship: “I continue to enjoy the practical aspect of my surgical assistant training. The ACESA skill lab prepared me well for this experience providing an excellent grounding in the basic principles involved, the surgeons’ expectations, and enabling me to feel confident in my own abilities to assist.

How ACESA high-level training gives you
the confidence and ability of a seasoned expert.
Really, what should you expect when a 30 year
veteran of the OR creates a program around passing the
Here's Dan Bump again on why standard assisting programs don't work:
“The problem with standard entry-level programs is they are designed by 'ivory tower' academics who haven’t achieved the real world success I wanted to pass on to my ACESA students.
Surgeons have such high performance expectations of even newly trained assistants and entry-level training just isn’t enough. High-level training required a new curriculum, new materials, new teaching methods, and a new 'Dan Bump success or better' philosophy to impact every aspect of training. Nothing less would do.” Dan Bump, ACESA Founder
The ACESA Surgical Assistant Program was the result. Does it work? One of Dan’s graduates now earns $360,000 per year! When you graduate, what will your success story look like?

"I feel it to be an honor to be associated with Dan Bump and ACESA. I have known and worked closely with Dan Bump since 1989 and have great respect for his knowledge and skills. He has always provided me with the excellence in surgical assisting that I have needed and has shown the patience to be able to effectively transmit his experience to others. It is this quality that makes Dan uniquely able to provide a most worthwhile learning experience for surgical assistant students. From a surgeon’s perspective, an assistant needs to provide more than simple tissue retraction. The assistant should properly be a reflection of the experience and judgment of the surgeon. Education gained through an ACESA course will provide the self-assurance which will be well recognized by patients and surgeons alike. Surgeons do not want to begin a surgical procedure with inexperienced assistants and cannot be expected to provide education themselves when the assistants do not have the background to assist with knowledge and efficiency. ACESA will provide this background. Dan Bump’s ability to provide a respected educational program is known throughout the country. His track record is undisputed and ACESA will be the beneficiary of this experience. I feel that the Skill labs developed by Dan Bump and ACESA will produce a hands-on experience which will enable the prospective assistant to develop significant expertise. This will enable the assistant to gain the confidence of the surgeon and thereby enable the assistant’s career to flourish." Arthur P. Heller, M.D. Fellow, A.A.O.S. President, Orthopaedic Physicians of Colorado, P.C. |

“ACESA is a great company that offers new and exciting challenges for people whether they are experienced or not in the trade. I was very happy to learn the advantages and disadvantages for new concepts in tying and suturing in different aspects of surgery. Anyone, with or without the knowledge or concepts in surgery, whether you are seasoned or new, can gain a lot of knowledge and skills from the course. I highly recommend it to anyone. It is a great opportunity to work with Dan.” Heather Johnson, RN Assistant to Lawrence W. Schwartz, DO Fayetteville, TN |
“ACESA is great! This course met all of my expectations. The speaker was very knowledgeable and was interested in each student’s needs. I loved the individual attention the students got with the instructor and the simulators. The speaker really cared about us learning and our futures. I mostly valued the hands-on where you get a good understanding of the surgeon’s perspective. Also, the anatomy classes so when you are assisting, you know what is going on. I am so grateful to Dan Bump and ACESA for this training. I recommend this class to both non-certified and certified techs.” Carolyn Goss, CST Russell Medical Center Alexander City, AL |
“Dan, I have had a very unique and wonderful experience in your class. I learned a lot from you and I appreciate your patience with me. I think you are a great instructor and I know you are a great assistant. I reached my confidence level after putting all my learning experiences together near my fourth day of the lab. I feel very confident tying, both two-handed and one-handed. I feel I can close a wound without reservation. I strongly recommend this program to anyone that wants to broaden their skills. Thank you very, very much!” Deanna Stavale, ST St. John Hospital & Medical Center St. Claire Shores, MI |

5 highly specialized ACESA teaching methods make retaining skills and knowledge easy and fun.
Are you starting to see the power you receive from the ACESA program to master skills and control your own destiny? You can literally turn your current surgery job into your dream career with an income you never thought possible unless you went to medical school.
“ACESA seems like a very friendly company, concerned more about your success than money in their pocket. I enjoyed the hands-on simulators. They worked to show you how to do something instead of just telling you how. Before coming to the ACESA surgical lab, a doctor tried to teach me how to tie and I just didn’t get it. Now I can go back to work with my new skills and blow the doctors out of the water. ACESA was a great learning experience that combined my skills with brand new skills to make me the best Surgical Assistant I can be. Through hands-on training, ACESA created a very conducive learning environment. The small groups also made the experience fun and exciting as well as educational.” Melissa Whitman, ST St. Joseph East Hospital Lexington, KY |
“I feel that ACESA has set high standards for itself as a company. I think the company has established an excellent formula for success in the SA field. The 6-day skills lab was an excellent experience for me. The wealth of new knowledge and skills that I came away with are well worth the cost of the lab. My surgical assist skills have increased tremendously. I can’t wait to use them! I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to increase their level of skill and performance in the OR environment. Besides learning new skills, confidence is instilled to be able to use those skills.” Della Burget, RN Lower Umpqua Hospital Reedsport, OR |
