|Text=She is the Principal Investigator of a new clinical trial, Infant Male Circumcision in Gaborone, Botswana, and Surrounding Areas: Feasibility, Safety and Acceptability. Plank is an Infectious Disease and [[HIV ]] specialist who trained at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Much of her work seems to be oriented to make infant circumcision acceptable in Botswana, even though the WHO's circumcision programs were originally guided to voluntary circumcision (adults) and the World's Health Organization manual for infant circumcision recognizes that "A concern about early infant male circumcision is that the child cannot give informed consent for the procedure. Moreover, some of the health benefits, including reducing the risk of [[HIV ]] infection, will not be realized until many years later when the person becomes sexually active. If circumcision is postponed until an older age the patient can evaluate the risks and benefits and consent to the procedure himself."<ref>{{REFweb
