Why We’re Launching WVC Vegas & Nashville Registration at Just $98 Each
At Viticus Group, we believe that high-quality CE should be accessible to all veterinary professionals. That’s why we’re launching registration for both WVC Vegas and WVC Nashville at only $98 each (under $200 for both!).
Access for All
Whether you're early in your journey or a seasoned practitioner, we know that cost and CE budgets are often a deciding factor in attending conferences like WVC. This special $98 launch price is our way of welcoming you no matter where you are in your career, and providing opportunities to build your confidence.
Hands-On Labs
To maintain the quality and keep instructor-to-participant ratios low, please note that hands-on labs are not included in the $98 registration offer. Additionally, the $98 pricing does not include other paid products such as workshops, etc. Labs & workshops will remain available as premium add-ons, allowing you to customize your WVC experience.
Early Access with the WVC Alert List
WVC Registration isn’t live yet — but those on our WVC Alert List will be the first to know the moment it opens. If you want early access to the $98 price before it’s released to the public (and it will be limited). Be sure to sign up now!
Dr. Juancho Joins Our Advanced Abdominal Surgery Lab in Las Vegas
This month, we welcomed veterinary influencer Dr. Juancho to our Viticus Group Education Centers for his first-ever hands-on Academy CE lab.
Over three days, Dr. Juancho joined fellow veterinarians in an engaging blend of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on labs, diving deep into surgical procedures across abdominal, perineal, head/neck, and feline-focused surgeries.
This surgery course was built to help general practitioners master advanced surgical techniques through both theory and hands-on repetition. Dr. Juancho and fellow participants rotated through:
• Gastric resection, gastropexy, and intestinal anastomosis
• Cholecystectomy and biliary tract surgery
• Laryngeal tieback and salivary gland excision
• Total ear canal ablation
• Perineal urethrostomy —Dr. Juancho’s favorite.
“My favorite lecture today was about perineal urethrostomies because we see blocked cats all the time, so it’s an amazing surgery that we can take back home and teach pet parents on the importance of doing these surgeries.”
“It was really exciting to be able to this hands on, because it kind of sticks to your brain a lot faster."
— Dr. Juancho
Whether you're gaining confidence in complex procedures or refining techniques you’ve done for years, Viticus Group's Academy CE gives you the time, space, and support to grow.
Build Confidence to Keep Care In-House
Why Hands-On CE is More Vital Than Ever
In today’s climate of economic uncertainty and price sensitivity, cost is top of mind for pet owners—and it’s shaping how and when they seek veterinary care. A new Gallup survey commissioned by PetSmart Charities found that over half of U.S. pet owners skipped needed veterinary services last year, largely due to affordability concerns. Even more eye-opening: 73% of those who declined care due to cost weren’t offered a more affordable alternative.*
This shifting landscape presents an opportunity for veterinary professionals: the ability to confidently provide more care in-house. And that starts with building your team’s clinical skills. At Viticus Group, our hands-on CE labs are designed to do just that. Whether it’s mastering surgical techniques or expanding your dental or imaging capabilities, our courses are built to help you:
• Offer more treatment options directly—without outsourcing
• Maximize patient outcomes
• Retain revenue and build trust with clients
• Confidently communicate value when discussing care plans
Pet owners want affordable, flexible solutions. Your ability to meet those needs, and keep their pets healthier, begins with your confidence in the exam room and in the OR.
Ready to keep more cases in-house? Explore upcoming courses at Viticus Group and take the next step in advancing your care.
