5. Testimonials
Gynecologist, Specialist in Reproductive Medicine Director of IVI Bilbao
«I completed my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at La Fe Hospital in Valencia, where I developed an interest in assisted reproduction. After finishing my residency, I began the Fellowship at IVI Valencia. There, I learned alongside outstanding professionals everything related to high-level reproductive medicine, as well as the latest technologies applied to human reproduction. All of this has enabled me to become the Director of IVI Bilbao, one of the largest clinics in the group, where I continue to work based on the three core pillars I learned: clinical excellence, education, and research »

Gynecologist, Specialist in Reproductive Medicine
“From my early days as a resident, human reproduction fascinated me, and the Fellowship program at IVI RMA allowed me to experience it fully, learning from world-renowned experts such as Dr. García Velasco. This experience provided me with invaluable hands-on training, as I was immersed in daily clinical practice and had direct exposure to the techniques and knowledge that set the standard in the field. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to specialize in assisted reproduction and encourage participants to make the most of every moment, from clinical consultations to research projects.”
Gynecologist, Specialist in Reproductive Medicine Fellow
“I chose assisted human reproduction because of its constant evolution and the impact it has on people’s lives, combining my medical vocation with empathy and a passion for knowledge. I first learned about the program through a mentor who recommended IVI RMA as a leading reference center, and from that moment it became a professional goal for me. During the Fellowship, I received comprehensive training that allowed me to develop skills across all key areas of the reproductive process. I would highlight the human and professional quality of the team, especially Dr. Joana Peñarrubia and Dr. Gemma Castillón, and I greatly value the opportunity to have trained at an institution that is a pioneer in research and technology. I would undoubtedly recommend this experience to anyone looking to grow in this field; every day at IVI RMA was an investment in my future.”
