How-To Videos to Accompany the Surgical SkillLab™
Eager to get started learning the tips and techniques you’ll get to practice in the Surgical SkillLab? Great! Watch these videos to get a sneak-peak at the techniques we’ll be teaching. You’ll have a head start on your Surgical SkillLab classmates and be even more prepared for your first day as a first surgical assistant.
Novice vs. Expert-Level Skills - Online Video
All training is not the same. Surgical Assisting is a performance intensive profession. So how well you perform skills can speak volumes about you. It can gain you opportunities or lose you opportunities. ACE Surgical Assisting teaches you expert-level skills and they include the secrets and tricks-of-the-trade assistants usually learn later in their careers.
But what is a novice skill? This video, made for conference attendees, demonstrates how novice first assist skills make you look like you are using 'training wheels for assistants.' Will you be labeled a novice Surgical Assistant? What is an expert skill and how does that make you look in surgery? This online video uses a part of the one-handed tying technique as just one example to clearly demonstrate the difference.
One-Handed Tying - Online Video
Here is a free online video of a surgical technique you will be learning in the 'Surgical SkillLab, The Expert Way.' It's here to show you an example of how we teach. But you also benefit by actually learning a technique you can use in surgery. The one thing you don’t get here is feedback from an expert who can spend time with you fine-tuning your first assistant technique. You can only get that by attending the 6 day lab.

“This lab is very helpful. I appreciate the fact that Dan is so patient with his instructions. He is not willing to let me fail. He has a way of correcting me and not making me feel stupid. He always finds something positive about what I am doing. He made the class a lot of fun. I would like to be able to work with him some day. The week was very special for me. “
