Dr. Carmack has been studying urology since 2003. She went into urology because she loved the mix of emergency and long-term care. Some patients need a quick fix, and some need long-term help exploring their illness and finding the best treatment. Urology is a fun and rewarding specialty that offers great potential to help others!
Unfortunately, Dr. Carmack has also witnessed the harm that often comes from medical interventions. In her training, repairing [[Risks and complications| complications]] from newborn [[circumcision]], a completely unnecessary surgery, was a frequent task that had to be performed.
Dr. Carmack was an outstanding speaker at the 2014 [[Genital Autonomy America|Genital Autonomy]] Symposium in Boulder, Colorado{{USSC|CO}}. Dr. Carmack is on the Board of Directors of [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)| Doctors Opposing Circumcision]].
[[Georganne Chapin]] recently invited Dr. Carmack to join [[Intact America]]'s Board of Health Professionals, a title which Dr. Carmack graciously accepted.
== Award for intactivism ==
Dr. Carmack was chosen "[[Intactivist of the Month]]" by [[Intact America]].
