Biography
Marci Messerle-Forbes has a special interest in research, contraception and family planning, and colposcopy procedures. Her research focuses on contraception and family planning, menopause, pelvic pain and libido. Marci chose her specialty because of interactions she had with women who were unaware of their own healthcare choices and/or their contraception options. She especially enjoys getting to know patients and helping them learn about their health and bodies. Originally from Coos Bay, Oregon, Marci completed several advanced degrees in Ohio before returning to Oregon. She came to OHSU in 2004. In her leisure time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, hiking, doing crafts and reading.
