Hello! I'm a medical student who is pretty much set on going into urology but I have a concern that I'm hoping to address with this post. Due to personal/moral/religious beliefs, I'm against the idea of performing non-medically necessary vasectomies as a form of permanent contraception (even if vasectomies have a chance at reversal, it's not high enough or reliable enough). I'd be happy to refer patients to someone who is willing to perform these (a colleague, co-resident, etc), but I'm wondering how easily I can work around this during training in residency. Will this cause issues with my program or will most programs be willing to accommodate? I'm assuming I shouldn't ask about this during interviews because it could bias a program against me right? How frequently will I even have to deal with this during residency? Thanks in advance for your insight.
