        ->get('MemberField')
        ->fields('m_field_label','m_field_id')
        ->all()
        ->getDictionary('m_field_id', 'm_field_label');

// Example return: [4 => 'My Field Name']

Create a member field

$new_field = ee('Model')->make('MemberField');
$new_field->m_field_type        = 'text';
$new_field->m_field_label       = 'My Member Field';
$new_field->m_field_name        = 'my_member_field';
$new_field->m_field_description = 'A custom member field example';
$new_field->m_field_settings    = array();
$new_field->m_field_show_fmt    = 'n';

// Validate and Save.
$result = $new_field->validate();

if ($result->isValid())
{
  $new_field->save();
}

// The field ID is now available.
$field_id = $new_field->m_field_id;

$member = ee('Model')->get('Member', $member_id)->first();
echo $member->$field_column_name;

$field_column_name = 'm_field_id_'.$field->m_field_id;

$member = ee('Model')->get('Member', $member_id)->first();
echo $member->$field_column_name;
