About
Dr. Caitlin Prickett grew up in Prickettville, Alabama, the daughter of an electrician and a school teacher. She carried that grounded upbringing through an honors career at the University of Alabama, where she twice earned a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Research Internship. Her organic chemistry research on DNA and RNA earned publication in an international peer-reviewed journal. Before medical school, she worked as a Research Scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology, where NASA funded her RNA and ribosome studies through the Astrobiology Institute. She also coordinated the NASA Astrobiology summer camp for two consecutive years and contributed a second peer-reviewed publication.
Dr. Prickett earned her medical degree from William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she ranked in the top 15% of her class as a founding member of Sigma Sigma Phi. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at the University of South Alabama Medical Center, a level one trauma center. She holds board certification in Internal Medicine from the American Board of Internal Medicine. Her clinical interests include women's health, cancer early detection, heart health monitoring, and longevity. She is passionate about preventive medicine and whole body approaches to care. In 2024, she spoke at the Livelong Summit alongside the CEO of Prenuvo and WildHealth CEO Dr. Matthew Dawson. She and her partner Jeffery share twins Piper and Jaxson, two silver labs, and a 15-year-old cat named Penelope.
