I think that is because vtk and ctk are located in a very different folder

```auto
E15TY:dosimetry4d alexvergaragil$ ls /Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/
SlicerWizard ctk mrml.py qt slicer vtkAddon.py vtkSegmentationCore.py vtkmodules
__pycache__ freesurfer.py mrmlDisplayableManager sitkUtils.py vtk.py vtkITK.py vtkTeem.py

```

So adding it to autocomplete paths

My configuration file is now

```auto
{
    "python.pythonPath": "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/SlicerPython",
    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/QtPlugins",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Slicer-4.11",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/",
        "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/Python/vtkmodules"
    ],
    "python.linting.pylintPath": "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/bin/pylint",
    "python.formatting.autopep8Path": "/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/lib/Python/bin/autopep8",
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "git.autofetch": true
}

```
