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.
