Dr Caitlin O’Rourke is a New Zealand trained obstetrician and gynaecologist who graduated from the University of Otago in 2013.
She completed her Fellowship training across the lower North Island, in Hawke’s Bay, Palmerston North, Wellington and Whanganui, before moving to Auckland for Advanced Training in complex obstetric care at Middlemore Hospital. Her work on improving birth outcomes earned her the RANZCOG Early Career Research Award and the Harvey Carey Memorial Prize, and she received the RANZCOG Medal for Outstanding Achievement in the Oral Examination in 2021.
Caitlin is a Senior Medical Officer at Te Whatu Ora Counties Manukau, where she leads the Preterm Birth Prevention Team and the High Risk Obstetric Medical Service, alongside acute obstetrics and gynaecology. Raised on a sheep and beef farm in rural Hawke’s Bay, Caitlin brings a down to earth, practical approach to her care.
She has cared for women and families from every kind of background, and she takes the time to listen. Outside work she’s usually outdoors with her family, chasing after her two young boys.
Her priority is to help you move through pregnancy and parenthood with confidence in yourself and in your care team.
