You should have her check out the DOC video and foreskin materials so that she will be a foreskin-wise doctor. She can be a member of DOC.

Also, you might want to warn her that she should be prepared to refuse to assist a circ when she is in residency or during her internship. Usually they have med students do this but if you tell them that you have an ethical objection they will generally let you out of it.
