Surgical Training
The core or our programme is the world-class training on circumcision and vasectomy procedures.
​
Dr. Pollock and our most experienced affiliated doctors will provide weeks of surgical training and perform procedures with you in their clinic.
Our approach results in accelerated expertise acquisition and our doctors finish training ready to perform surgeries in their own clinic.
You will have an initial training period for either circumcision or no-scalpel vasectomy, with another training session for the second procedure in the first 3 to 6 months with Gentle Procedures.
You will finish your training with an advanced level of skill and technique relative to many of the existing providers in your home market – and you will have ongoing access to a network of peers who are all expert vasectomy and circumcision surgeons.
Marketing Support
You will need patients in order to put your new advanced surgical skills to work. Even before you start training, your marketing program will be underway – starting with market research to determine an optimal pricing strategy for your clinic.
