Raquel Segovia Portolés

Raquel Segovia Portolés serves as an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine of Cardinal Herrera CEU University, where she is affiliated with the Department of Medicine and Surgery. Concurrently, she maintains an active clinical practice as an endocrinologist at Dermilaser Quirón Clinic and Sagunto Hospital, integrating academic expertise with frontline patient care in Valencia, Spain.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Medical degree from University of Valencia (1997-2003)
• Endocrinology residency at La Fe University Hospital (2004-2008)
• Research Proficiency (DEA) with Outstanding grade from Autonomous University of Barcelona
• Cum Laude Doctorate from University of Valencia

Dr. Segovia Portolés specializes in endocrine disorders with particular emphasis on diabetes management during pregnancy, thyroid pathophysiology, and obesity-related metabolic complications. Her work bridges clinical endocrinology and academic research, focusing on insulin therapy optimization, reproductive endocrine disorders, and the interplay between bariatric interventions and hormonal regulation. She has made significant contributions to understanding autoimmune thyroid manifestations and nutritional support methodologies in complex cases.

Analysis of her publications (2006-2010) reveals consistent focus on endocrine pathologies across diabetes care, thyroid dysfunction, and obesity complications. Her research demonstrates clinical translation through practical treatment protocols for type 1 diabetes, insights into rare thyroid presentations, and outcomes research in nutritional support systems – all reflecting her dual commitment to evidence-based practice and patient-centered care.

She has mentored medical students during University of Valencia internships and contributed to diabetes telemedicine initiatives. Her collaborative work within the Reproductive, Pregnancy and Gynecological Endocrinology Unit at La Fe University Hospital established frameworks for managing CSII (subcutaneous insulin infusers) and pregnancy-related endocrine disorders.

Currently, Dr. Segovia Portolés remains integral to Valencia's endocrine care network through ongoing clinical practice at multiple healthcare facilities while advancing academic discourse in endocrinology through her faculty position at CEU University.
