Male Genital Cutting 101 

This world‑first online course has been created specifically for health, mental health, and sexology professionals who want to better understand and support clients affected by male genital cutting.

Developed by leading expert and author Jonathan Meddings — who spent ten years researching and writing the definitive book on circumcision — this concise, evidence‑based course equips you with the foundational knowledge to navigate the complex physical, psychological, cultural and ethical dimensions of male genital cutting.

Gain the insight and confidence to engage sensitively and knowledgeably with clients, enhance your clinical competence, and join a growing network of practitioners committed to trauma‑informed, person‑centred care for people with lived and living experience of male genital cutting.

This fully self‑paced online course takes roughly 8 hours and must be completed to be eligible to receive client referrals from The Darbon Institute. To complete the course, you will need to undertake two non‑graded reflective exercises.

Students of this course will also receive a free signed paperback copy of Meddings' book, The Final Cut: The truth about circumcision.
