Early life
Crengle was born in Waiouru, and grew up in Wellington and Auckland. Her father was in the navy.[1] She attended Mana College, where her parents had to complain to the local MP to have the streaming system changed so that it was possible for her to both be in the top class and take te reo Māōri.[1]
Academic career
Crengle graduated in medicine from the University of Auckland in 1985. She notes that there were three other Māori students in her class, whereas nowadays a typical cohort might have fifty.[2] She then completed a master's degree titled Mā Papatuanuku, ka Tipu ngā Rākau: a case study of the well child health programme provided by Te Whānau O Waipareira Trust in 1997, supervised by Fiona Cram.[3] She then completed a PhD titled The management of children's asthma in primary care: Are there ethnic differences in care? at the University of Auckland.[4]
Crengle then moved to the University of Otago, rising to full professor.[1][5] She resides in Invercargill, where she practises one day a week.[2] Her research focuses on issues of inequity in the health system, where she says some metrics are getting worse, such as the percentage of Māori women participating in cervical screening.[2] She also teaches in public health and Māori health at the university.[2]
In 2021 she was appointed to the Māori Health Authority as part of the reformation of the health system.[2] She said "It’s exciting that there’s such an explicit focus on equity and improving Māori health outcomes across the whole reform."[2]
