She and the staff of Grey’s Anatomy won a Writers’ Guild of America Award for best new series. She was selected to receive the National Medical Association’s (NMA) Scroll of Merit Award, the highest honor given by the NMA, which is the largest organization of African-American physicians in the country. Concordantly, she went on to proudly accept the Leadership and Legacy Alumni Award given by the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), an organization with the goal of ensuring culturally sensitive medical education and increasing the number of students of color that enter and complete medical school.

From medical school at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX, Dr. Clack went to Atlanta, GA to pursue a residency in Emergency Medicine at Emory University. This was followed by a fellowship in Injury Prevention that led her to obtain a Master’s of Public Health (MPH) in Behavioral Sciences.

Throughout that year, she helped develop an emergency medicine program in response to the bombing of the American Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as well as assisting in the expansion of emergency medicine to the pacific island paradise of Palau.
Dr. Clack is very proud to have penned an article in National Geographic Magazine’s issue titled “Women’s health concerns are dismissed more, studied less” for the magazine’s special edition on the future of medicine where she urges more women to speak up about how they feel or what kind of health issues they’re experiencing.
