Luis Fernando Rivas, a hematologist from El Salvador, a country in Central America that is currently affiliated with ASH and the Salvadoran Social Security Institute. I was born on January 31, 1987 in San Vicente, a municipality that corresponds to the San Vicente department in El Salvador. I am the first hematologist in San Vicente. From an early age I migrated to the city to start my career at the Evangelical University of El Salvador in the medical career. My passion for internal medicine later led me to study Internal Medicine at the Salvadoran Institute of Social Security to finally migrate to Mexico to do a residency in hematology at the General Hospital of Mexico. I graduated from the Hospital General de México with a specialist degree in Hematology from the Universidad Nacional Autonómo de México. Later I did a fellowship in flow cytometry at the Hospital Central Sur de Alta Especialidad PEMEX Picacho. I currently practice hematology at the Hospital Médico Quirúrgico y Oncológico in addition to being part of the faculty of the Internal Medicine specialty and being part of the research group for the internal medicine medical residency of the Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social.
