Dr. Chavi Eve Karkowsky, MD

  Chavi Eve Karkowsky grew up in Maryland; went to college at Yale University, and completed medical school at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She then went on to residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the integrated program at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, followed by a fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM)  at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Karkowsky lives with her husband and four kids. In this episode, we discuss Chavi's new book High Risk. In her book, Chavi explores the complexities of reproductive life and everything we lose when we don’t speak honestly about women’s health. We lose the ability to care for people in our community who may have experienced a miscarriage or still birth and the ability to dictate our own care and policy on women’s health. Most importantly, we miss the opportunity to share our stories and unique experiences. Chavi discusses both the incredible strides that modern medicine has made while acknowledging issues and areas that desperately demand progress. You can purchase Chavi's book here.
