John Carmack, MD, MPH, Colonel, USAF (ret), Regional Medical Director

John Timothy Carmack, MD, MPH, received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia, in 1989. He is board-certified with over 25 years of experience in emergency medicine. He graduated from the 2006–2007 inaugural class of the Medical Society of Virginia Foundation Claude Moore Physician Leadership Institute, the James M. Johnson Physician Leadership Program, and is a graduate of the United States Air Force Commanders Development Program and the Air War College, Maxwell AFB, AL.

Dr. Carmack served 29 years in the United States Air Force, both on active duty and in the reserve component, spending the majority of his military career as a flight surgeon. He retired with the rank of Colonel following multiple deployments to the Middle East. At the time of his retirement, he held the position of State Air Surgeon for the Florida Air National Guard.

Dr. Carmack joined American Family Care (AFC) in 2019 after a long career in emergency medicine. He works with multiple AFC locations in both Virginia and North Carolina, leading the provider teams and ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care.

He lives by a simple principle passed down from his father, a nurse: “Care for every patient the way you would want your own mother or father cared for—and you’ll never go wrong.”

It’s the same guiding philosophy he instills in every provider on his team.

Dr. Carmack enjoys spending time with his wife and their children on Chesapeake Bay.
