A QUANTUM LEAP FORWARD IN YOUR SURGICAL CAREER!

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE SURGICAL ASSISTANT TRAINING

The ACE Surgical Assistant Program is a unique career booster. Our founder Dan Bump is the father of surgical assistant training. He was a successful self-employed Surgical Assistant in Denver, Colorado where the competition was tough and you had to perform at surgeon-level to survive. Denver surgeons expected their assistants to provide the same service another surgeon would, up to and including doing half the surgery yourself. To be successful, you had to be extraordinary.

In 1995, Dan created the very first formal Surgical Assistant Program for working surgical/medical professionals. Besides just being the first, he uniquely modeled training on surgeon-level assisting so his students could also achieve the extraordinary. Now ACE is bringing Dan’s career-boosting, surgeon-level training program to working Surgical Techs and OR Nurses around the country!

Learn at Home,

Around your schedule

ACE SurgiNet™ online technology was custom made to create real opportunity for you in the often-lucrative field of Surgical Assisting – regardless of how busy you are. This phase of your SA school training is designed to give you surgeon-level knowledge. We aren’t training you to become a surgeon. But when surgeons first assist in surgery, they use a small slice of their overall knowledge that the American College of Surgeons says makes them ideal assistants.

Our Online SA School Provides the Following:

  • Your own student webpage to easily access your online training and track your progress minute-by-minute anywhere in the world.
  • Our program gives you an enhanced access to the learning process. On average students take about 9 months to complete the program, however, with this enhanced access you can finish in as soon as 6 months or take up to 16 months if needed.
  • Enhanced Access is an option you can sign up for that completely frees you from the online schedule.
  • No monthly deadlines! If you are very familiar with the subject, you don’t need a month. Finish early and move right on to the next course. If it’s a harder subject, you don’t have to rush. Take your time and make sure you get it right. Because of Enhanced Access, some students have completed the entire program in as little as 6 months! Dan Bump makes a surgeon-level curriculum easy to understand.
  • Easy online testing with automatic grading. You get your score immediately after submitting your test. Taking a pretest for each unit sets a benchmark of your current knowledge on the subject. Then it generates a customized Study Guide so you can boost any of your specific weak areas.
  • Take your Unit Test after you’ve studied the material. Measure the results against your pretest and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the progress you’ve made.
  • It’s online but we aren’t hiding from you. The ACE staff and faculty are happy to provide all the personal attention you need to be successful.

How Our Surgical Assisting Program

Can Help You in the Field

In addition to the online learning portion of the Surgical Assisting Program, there are two other parts that help to ensure you are fully prepared to become a surgical assistant — surgical skills lab and clinical internship. Together, each part works to give you the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to help you start making advancements in your career. 

  • The six-day Surgical Skill Lab puts many of the concepts you learned in the classroom into use under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
  • The clinical internship provides you the opportunity to work directly with the surgeon in your hospital to gain real-world experience.

Altogether, the program helps you to develop surgeon-level assisting skills that helps make surgeon-level assisting income more attainable. By the time you graduate from the program, you should have all the tools you need to sit for the national certifying exam for Surgical Assistants administered by the American Board of Surgical Assistants (ABSA). Upon passing, you’ll earn the prestigious title SA-C (Surgical Assistant – Certified).
