Carlie Field is originally from Arvada, Colorado. A strong desire to work in the sciences while also serving underserved populations drove her to enter medicine. She completed her medical school training at the University of Colorado where she was a part of the global health track and had the opportunity to work on research related to penetrating trauma in the townships surrounding Cape Town, South Africa. She then moved to Seattle, Washington to complete her OBGYN residency at the University of Washington. In residency, she completed a global health certificate while working clinically at the Naivasha District Hospital in Kenya and completing research on abortion prevalence in HIV-infected Kenyan women. She is passionate about caring for women across the globe and ensuring equitable access to safe deliveries and family planning services. She enjoys running and bicycling, trying new foods – especially desserts, traveling with her husband, Sam, and spending time with her 8 nieces and nephews.
