Dr Carin Black
Obstetrician/Gynaecologist MBBS, FRANZCOG
Carin completed her Obstetric training at the Royal Women’s Hospital in 2014 and has formally joined the WOGS group in July 2023. Her main focus is Obstetrics, and she looks forward to accompanying patients through their pregnancy journey, working together towards a goal of a safe and healthy delivery.
Carin is a compassionate Obstetrician who strongly believes in providing individualised, evidence-based, holistic care to women before, during and after pregnancy, to allow informed choices and optimal outcomes. She feels privileged and excited to have joined this supportive, dynamic and cohesive team.
After growing up in Melbourne, Carin obtained her Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery Degree (MBBS) through the University of Adelaide. She returned to Melbourne after her undergraduate degree and discovered her passion for Obstetrics whilst working a rotation in Women’s Health. This led to her undertaking Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist training through the Royal Women’s Hospital and obtaining her FRANZCOG qualification in 2014, which included a year of accredited training in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM). Carin completed a Research Higher Degree in 2019 through the University of Melbourne, focusing on the pregnancy-related condition, pre-eclampsia. She has published numerous scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals in this area.
Since qualifying as an Obstetrician in 2014, Carin has maintained regular employment in both regional and tertiary hospitals across Australia. She currently works in the Multiple Pregnancy and Maternal Medicine Clinics at the Royal Women’s Hospital and maintains regular exposure to tertiary labour ward management through the Royal Women’s Hospital.
Carin enjoys being engaged in teaching at all levels, from medical students to advanced specialist trainees, and holds an honorary position as a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the University of Melbourne Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Carin has an appreciation and passion for quality and safety within the healthcare system and has recently completed her Clinical Improvement Fellowship certificate through Safer Care Victoria and the Royal Women’s Hospital, which will allow continuing involvement in this important and contemporary area of healthcare.
With two young children of her own, time outside work is mainly spent with family and friends, but in her precious spare time, Carin enjoys reading, running, pilates, camping and any form of travel.
