Cat Carlisle

Cat Carlisle is an orthotic and prosthetic resident at Strive O&P. Falling in love with orthotics and prosthetics at just 10 years old, she knew early on that a field that increases people’s capabilities and helps them reach their goals would be right for her.

Wanting to start with a good biomechanical basis, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan-Flint, followed by her Master of Science in Orthotics & Prosthetics from Eastern Michigan University. Passionate about healthcare, Cat approaches O&P believing that everyone deserves inclusive and informed care. After completing her residency, Cat plans to continue with Strive O&P as a board-certified clinician in orthotics and prosthetics.

She spends her free time with her fiancé and their two cats, and is an avid guitar player.
