Every October 23rd, Mexico celebrates Doctor’s Day—a date dedicated to honoring those who have devoted their lives to healing, preventing, and supporting. It’s not just a symbolic celebration; it’s an opportunity to pause and express respect and gratitude to those who, with white coats and steady hearts, make their work a daily mission. At Ingenes Institute, this celebration holds even deeper meaning. Our doctors not only face complex diagnoses or design cutting-edge solutions. They also walk alongside women, men, and couples who long to build a family. They do it with science, with passion… and with a humanity that leaves a lasting mark. Today, we want to honor each and every one of them. Because behind every baby born through assisted reproduction, there is a doctor who believed it was possible. Why Is Doctor’s Day Celebrated in Mexico? Doctor’s Day is celebrated on October 23rd in honor of the founding of the Establecimiento de Ciencias Médicas in 1833, considered the first formal medical school in the country. Since then, this date has symbolized the commitment, ethics, and dedication of those who practice this noble profession. In the field of reproductive medicine—where biology, genetics, technological innovation, and deep emotions intertwine—the physician’s role takes on a unique dimension. What Does It Mean to Be a Doctor at Ingenes Being a doctor at Ingenes is not the same as being a doctor at any other healthcare institution. Here, every professional trains in a high-complexity environment, where infertility, personalized treatments, and the most advanced assisted reproduction techniques are part of everyday life. But beyond scientific knowledge, our doctors stand out for one essential trait: their ability to connect with their patients’ emotions. A Diagnosis That Strikes an Emotional Chord Infertility isn’t diagnosed solely through tests and lab results. It’s felt in the body, the mind, and the soul. Doctors who care for those wanting a baby must look beyond ovaries, uteruses, sperm, or eggs. They must see the person. Their story. Their pain. And also, their hope. The Many Faces of a Doctor in Assisted Reproduction 1. Reproductive Specialist This is the central figure in patient care. A gynecologist with a subspecialty in reproductive biology, highly trained in diagnostics, personalized treatment design, and clinical follow-up for procedures like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Artificial Insemination, Egg Donation, or the ROPA Method. These doctors: But most importantly: they build genuine bonds with those they treat. 2. Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist Once pregnancy is achieved, another key figure steps in: the maternal-fetal medicine specialist, who ensures the well-being of both the baby and the mother during critical pregnancy stages—especially in high-risk or assisted reproduction pregnancies. These doctors: 3. Clinical Geneticist At Ingenes, we also have clinical geneticists—medical specialists who analyze the genetic makeup of future parents or embryos to detect potential hereditary diseases. Thanks to them: The Doctor as a Bridge Between Science and the Dream An assisted reproduction treatment doesn’t begin with medication, nor end with an embryo transfer. It starts with a conversation—and often, with years of trying without success. At that moment, the doctor is more than a clinical expert. They become: 20 Years Since Our Beginning: A Tribute to Our Doctors Since Ingenes was founded in 2005, our doctors have been pioneers in scientific advances—and key players in thousands of stories that began with “I can’t” and ended with “I have my baby at home.” Thanks to them: How Do Our Doctors Train? At Ingenes, we seek the best profiles. But we also train our doctors continuously because we believe that medical excellence requires ongoing learning, teamwork, and human sensitivity. Our training includes: Additionally, our doctors actively participate in national and international conferences, contribute to scientific research, and are part of networks like the Latin American Assisted Reproduction Network. Behind Every Ingenes Baby Is a Doctor Who Believed in the Impossible Today, on Doctor’s Day, we celebrate not just a profession—we celebrate a way of living medicine, with dedication, science, and profound human commitment. At Ingenes, we are proud of every woman and man who is part of our medical team. They are the ones who carry the hope of thousands, who look beyond the diagnosis, and who walk beside each patient, step by step, until they reach the ultimate goal: the birth of a new life.
