University of Utah Health and IVI RMA North America Form Strategic Affiliation to Expand Access to Fertility Care and Train New Reproductive Endocrinologists

These resources will help the program deliver the highest quality fertility care to patients while giving students, residents, and fellows experience that prepares them for advanced practice in reproductive medicine.

Looking ahead, IVI RMA North America plans to build a new, state-of-the-art fertility laboratory in 2028, which will serve as a premier laboratory for future REIs in fellowship at the University of Utah. IVI RMA North America brings decades of experience in clinic and lab operations.

“Affiliating with University of Utah Health and its renowned reproductive medicine division represents an exciting step forward in advancing fertility care and training new cohorts of REIs that will sustain and strengthen the field,” said Lynn Mason, CEO of IVI RMA North America. “We share a deep commitment to high-quality, innovative care. Together, we are providing fellows and students with real-world laboratory experiences, advanced clinical training, and mentorship that will prepare them to deliver exceptional care and shape the future of this field.”

As part of the affiliation, University of Utah fellows will have the opportunity to train directly with IVI RMA North America and the company’s board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians, who have deep knowledge of Utah and the mountain states communities. They will also gain access to the expansive resources of IVI RMA Global, the world’s largest company exclusively devoted to assisted reproduction technology, and its renowned IVI RMA Global Research Alliance, a world leader in scientific research and technology development in reproductive medicine.

“Training reproductive endocrinologists is at the heart of our mission—and this relationship with IVI RMA North America takes that commitment to a new level,” said Erica Johnstone, M.D., Fellowship Director at the University of Utah. “IVI RMA’s leadership and reputation for innovation in fertility care means our students and fellows will gain valuable industry experience so they are ready to deliver excellent, evidence-based care from the moment they graduate.”

“The affiliation with University of Utah Health underscores IVI RMA North America’s goal of forging relationships to advance both patient care and physician training,” said Thomas Molinaro, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at IVI RMA North America. “Our investments into shared research, innovation, and clinical excellence translate directly into better doctors, stronger fertility programs, and broader access for families.”
