Throughout the days and late into the nights, there are informal conversations and presentations, providing a chance to build the camaraderie that fuel’s WVD’s success.
The Ski Seminar has humble roots, and what started as a gathering of two (Dr. Nick Demediuk – Australia – and Doug Stein in 2014) has grown steadily over the years. We encourage more doctors, especially those with less experience, to consider attending in the future but keep in mind, slots fill up quickly so don’t miss out!

Zoom Meeting with Argentina during this year’s Ski Seminar:
Last week with the doctors, we also had an amazing opportunity to meet via Zoom with leaders from the Ministry of Health in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who are enthusiastically looking forward to hosting WVD 2025. Their objective is to have fully functioning vasectomy programs in 10 major hospitals in the province. The Ministry made it very clear that they not only want to expand vasectomy services, but they are also committed to creating a climate of care for men.
On behalf of WVD, Michel Labrecque and Esgar Guarín are already planning training well in advance of November, in the hopes that more doctors will be ready to participate in the event. Esgar and Michel will be traveling to Argentina in April to launch the nation’s first vasectomy mobile unit. They will be in charge of finding additional vasectomy trainers for later events.
