Non-Scalpel Vasectomy

The Advanced Workshop of Non-Scalpel Vasectomy is for physicians who are already performing traditional vasectomies but would like to learn the non-scalpel procedure. Participants can expect an introduction to this advanced procedure for permanent male fertility control with a comprehensive overview of the necessary steps to achieve the best outcomes for their patients.

The program assumes previous experience in clinical procedures.

Participants do not have to pass an IELTS test but, as the courses are delivered in English, proficiency in listening, reading and writing English is assumed.

Participants will require access to a computer/laptop, an internet connection and a basic level of technology proficiency to access and navigate the online learning portal.

Professionally recognised qualifications and prior studies may be recognised for entry into this course if the learning outcomes match exactly. Please ask a HealthCert Education Advisor for an individual assessment of your prior qualifications and experience.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants should:

• check the regulations for your location of practice for further training requirements; and
