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 lab 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. 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. 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 |

What I learned came to life!
“I really enjoy seeing what I learn come to life in the OR. I am becoming more comfortable with my skills and enjoy getting the chance to use them whenever I can. I always see room for improvement (a little faster, smoother, and more knowledgeable). I feel that the surgeons and other staff are beginning to look at me a little differently as a result of my schooling." Aaron Musson, ST

Develop Significant Expertise!
"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. |

New and exciting challenges!
“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 |
Loved the individual attention!
“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 |

Made me the best Surgical Assistant I could be!
“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 |
Can't wait to use my new skill!
“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 |
Lots of little tricks I can use at work!
“I was very happy with the hands-on labs that give you a better understanding of what’s going on from a surgeon’s perspective and allows you to assist them better. I learned lots of little tricks that I will benefit from on a daily basis at work. I would highly recommend this program. Excellent hands-on experiences. Very professional and very experienced instructor.” Sandra McCabe, RN, CNOR, RNFA Northern Illinois Medical Center McHenry, IL |
