Burnett School of Medicine Couples Get Dream Matches
Two couples are paired up into residency programs for the first time at the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University.
FORT WORTH – It’s a match made in medicine for two couples at the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University.
BURNETT SCHOOL OF MEDICINE MATCH DAY
Amanda Block, MS4 and Andrew Goh, MS4 at Burnett School of Medicine at TCU, both matched at University of North Carolina Hospital at Chapel Hill. Block matched as a psychiatry resident and Goh matched as an emergency medicine resident.
The couple met when they first arrived at the Burnett School of Medicine. They were in the same small group session during Introduction to Medicine.
“Our main goal coming into this was just to be together,” Goh told the Fort Worth Report about Match Day.
Another Burnett School of Medicine couple, Amir Akhavan, MS4 and Bhavana Sreepad, MS4, matched into residency programs at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
Akhavan matched as a physical medicine and rehabilitation resident and Sreepad matched as an anesthesiology resident.
“I’m so proud of everything she’s achieved,” Akhavan said of Sreepad. “The amount of work she put into her rotations and the care she puts into her patients is wonderful. I’m just proud of her.”
The couple met as freshmen at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) after being introduced by mutual friends. After completing their undergraduate degrees, they both decided the Burnett School of Medicine would be the best place to grow into physicians.
“It’s so nice to see the person he’s grown into and it’s so nice to see where we were and where we both are today,” Sreepad said.
