Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA), one of the nation’s top reproductive health providers and a longstanding pioneer in IVF research and innovation, announced that Dr. Brent Hanson has officially joined its Southern California clinical team. A board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and former Jefferson-RMA fellow, Dr. Hanson is now welcoming patients at RMA San Diego, located at 4510 Executive Drive, Suite 150. His addition reflects the organization’s continued commitment to delivering world-class fertility care to individuals, couples, and families across the region.
A Strong Academic Foundation and Early Career Excellence
Dr. Hanson’s career in reproductive medicine is rooted in a distinguished academic journey. He earned his medical degree from the West Virginia University School of Medicine, where he quickly gained recognition for his academic achievements. During his time there, he was awarded the Dr. Hugh Carr Scholarship, an honor given to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and a commitment to advancing the medical field.
Following medical school, he completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City—an institution widely known for its comprehensive clinical training and research-driven environment. During his residency, Dr. Hanson distinguished himself through both his clinical excellence and his contributions to academic medicine. He received multiple accolades, including the Best Grand Rounds Presentation and the Resident Research Award, both of which highlight his ability to effectively blend clinical practice with scholarly inquiry.
Advanced Fellowship Training at Jefferson-RMA
After residency, Dr. Hanson pursued subspecialty training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) at Thomas Jefferson University – Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey. This fellowship is renowned for offering extensive experience in state-of-the-art laboratory practices, complex fertility diagnostics, and innovative treatment approaches that have shaped the future of reproductive medicine.
During his fellowship, Dr. Hanson was trained in cutting-edge laboratory techniques and conducted research in key areas that are central to modern fertility care, including:
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
- Oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing)
- Male factor infertility
- Embryo culture and development optimization
- Third-party reproduction, including programs designed to support LGBTQIA2S+ family building
This comprehensive training equipped him with deep expertise in the scientific and technological foundations of IVF, allowing him to deliver advanced, personalized treatment plans for a diverse patient population.
Before joining RMA San Diego, Dr. Hanson practiced in Minneapolis, where he further expanded his clinical experience and continued his research and educational efforts within the fertility field.
Strengthening RMA’s Clinical Team and Innovations

With fertility services in high demand across Southern California, RMA continues to strategically grow its team with experienced physicians who bring both scientific expertise and patient-centered values.
Dr. Scott Morin, West Coast Medical Director at IVI RMA North America, expressed strong support for Dr. Hanson’s addition to the team.
Throughout his career, Dr. Hanson has been repeatedly recognized for his outstanding research, clinical excellence, and commitment to education,” Dr. Morin said. “We are thrilled to welcome him to our Southern California clinical team, following the recent addition of another Jefferson-RMA fellow, Dr. Haley Genovese.

His clinical philosophy recognizes that fertility treatment is not only a medical process but also an emotionally significant and deeply personal journey.
RMA is nationally recognized for shaping fertility care through advanced research and innovation, with outcomes that speak for themselves,” Dr. Hanson shared. “Building a family is a deeply personal and high-stakes journey. Successful outcomes matter. I’m honored to join this respected team and build on my fellowship experience within the RMA Network. It is my life’s work to guide patients with honesty and care as we work together toward their family-building goals.”
Dr. Hanson aims to ensure that every patient receives clear communication, individualized treatment plans, and emotional support throughout their fertility journey. His work includes supporting individuals and couples facing a wide range of fertility challenges, including unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic considerations, and the growing use of fertility preservation techniques such as egg and embryo freezing.
Expanding Fertility Options for All Families
As the landscape of family building evolves, RMA continues to advance care models that support all individuals and communities, including the LGBTQIA2S+ population, single parents by choice, and those requiring donor or gestational carrier services.
Dr. Hanson’s experience in third-party reproduction and inclusive fertility care positions him as a valuable resource for patients seeking affirming and equitable pathways to parenthood.
His training and expertise align closely with RMA’s broader mission: to make evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate fertility treatment accessible to everyone who wishes to build a family.
A Strategic Step Forward for RMA San Diego
