providers needed
Did you know that you do not have to a urologist to be trained and licensed to perform a vasectomy?
​
To expand vasectomy access, more providers are needed to perform this minor surgical procedure.
​
Retired urologists can give back by finding local health access centers in need of volunteer medical services.
​
​
Providers can participate in World Vasectomy Day (WVD), which takes place the 4th Friday each November.
​
WVD has emerged over the past decade as a movement to encourage and educate all demographic groups about an often-overlooked form of family planning: vasectomy.
​
With over 1000 participating providers from 30+ countries, every year since 2013, WVD has brought its headquarters to a different country inspiring more than 124,000 vasectomies around the world.
For those in a Title X environment, a tool kit can be viewed here. This includes templates for clinical protocol, surgical procedure and semen analysis.
