Welcome Dr. Ginevra Mills to PCRM Victoria!
We are thrilled to introduce our newest team member at the Pacific Center for Reproductive Medicine, Dr. Ginevra Mills, BSc, MSc, BA, MD, FRCSC! Dr. Mills brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and compassion to our Victoria practice, and we are excited for our patients to benefit from her care.
A Strong Educational Foundation
Dr. Mill's medical journey began at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where she completed a Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, earning the title of Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC). She then pursued further specialization at McGill University in Montreal, completing a Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, also under the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC). Throughout her training, she demonstrated a commitment to excellence, preparing herself to make significant contributions in the field of reproductive health.
A Passion for Research and Patient Care
Dr. Ginevra Mills has been committed to research and education since her MSc days, where she advanced from Teaching Assistant to Head TA in Cellular and Molecular Biology and Microbiology. Her research journey began as a lab technician at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, where she studied breast cancer inheritance patterns, and at the University of Saskatchewan, analyzing protein patterns in spinal cord injuries.
As a medical student, Dr. Mills won awards for her research and presented at international gynecology conferences. During her residency, she conducted a qualitative study on female resident breastfeeding experiences, becoming a key resource for surgical residents managing breastfeeding. She also designed a Medical Education Elective, earning multiple teaching awards.
In her fellowship, Dr. Mills led research on metabolic health and obstetrical risk factors in PCOS, publishing papers in Human Reproduction. She also published on OHSS and sperm DNA fragmentation and co-authored book chapters on ovulation induction and IVF. Her dedication to research and patient care defines her distinguished career.
A Desire to Bring Humanity Back to Medicine
Dr. Ginevra Mills firmly believes that humanity and medicine are intrinsically linked, especially in the realm of women’s health and fertility. She understands that this field is not just about science and treatment—it's about addressing the deeply personal and intimate aspects of a woman's life. Dr. Mills recognizes that each woman’s health journey is unique, and just as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to women’s bodies, there should be no uniform approach to their healthcare. Her commitment is to provide compassionate, individualized care that honors the diverse needs of women, ensuring that their health, and the health of future generations, is nurtured with the utmost respect and understanding.
“Dr.Mills helps to deconstruct the systems that have historically stood between women and the education needed to familiarize themselves with their own bodies.”
Personal Interests
Dr. Ginevra Mills balances her professional life with a rich array of personal interests. She cherishes time with her family, which includes her husband, three children, a dog, and a hedgehog. A passionate lover of all things Italian, she enjoys learning the language and exploring Italian cuisine. Dr. Mills also expresses her creativity as a freelance medical op-ed writer for The Medical Post, an amateur photographer, and a creative writer. She is a nature enthusiast who stays physically active through swimming, hiking, and running, and she advocates for mindfulness and the importance of listening to our bodies.
