University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine Student Outreach Clinics are now providing free vasectomies. Dr Daniel Spogen, chair of UNR Med Family and Community Medicine, says men have historically had limited choices when it comes to birth control options. “Family planning has focused more on women, women’s health, pregnancy and childbirth. Vasectomies offer a highly effective contraceptive option and allow men the opportunity to take on a greater role in their contraceptive responsibility.”
