This year’s Match Day was unique because of the pandemic. The gathering at the CWRU Tinkham Veale University Center was quieter and calmer. Faculty members spoke from Tinkham Veale or their own homes. Students gathered with their families, in small groups, or waited at their computers for an email revealing their results. However, students and their loved ones still celebrated. Faculty members felt overwhelming pride. People connected. The coronavirus couldn’t take that away. —From Insight/Lerner College of Medicine Class of 2020 Janet Adegboye Lestella Bivens Robert Borden University of University of Chicago Stanford University Maryland-Mercy Medical Center Programs Medical Center PEDIATRICS THORACIC SURGERY INTERNAL MEDICINE Johns Hopkins Hospital ANESTHESIOLOGY William (Alex) Harry Choi Katharina Cantrell Hospital of the Clore-Gronenborn Cleveland Clinic University of PA Children’s National ORTHOPAEDIC INTERNAL MEDICINE Medical Center SURGERY PEDIATRICS Albert Feeny Caroline Franke Suresh Garudadri University of UPMC Medical Stanford University California Education Programs San Francisco PSYCHIATRY INTERNAL MEDICINE INTERNAL MEDICINE 4 ALUMNI CONNECTION – ISSUE 2, 2020 EDUCATION Brittany Goldstein Brett Graham Nikhil Gupta Northwestern Vanderbilt University University of Chicago McGaw/NMH/VA Medical Center Medical Center PSYCHIATRY NEUROLOGY INTERNAL MEDICINE Cameron Severine Kako Kaitlin Keenan Beau Hilton Case Western/ Rush University Vanderbilt University University Hospitals Medical Center Medical Center Cleveland Medical NEUROLOGY INTERNAL Center MEDICINE/ABIM NEUROLOGY RESEARCH PATH Ann Kim Anne Kim Erika Lampert Johns Hopkins Hospital of the Cleveland Clinic Hospital University of PA OBSTETRICS AND INTERNAL MEDICINE OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY GYNECOLOGY Diane Libert John McAfee Appledene Osbourne Stanford University Cleveland Clinic University of Programs PATHOLOGY California Davis PATHOLOGY Medical Center INTERNAL MEDICINE Radhika Rastogi Navin Sabharwal Elizabeth Shay Children’s Hospital - University of Indiana Philadelphia California Irvine University SOM PEDIATRICS UROLOGY OTOLARYNGOLOGY Continued on page 6 A publication for Cleveland Clinic medical alumni and friends. – clevelandclinic.org/alumni 5 EDUCATION Shehryar Christina Snider Robert Unger (Sherry) Sheikh Vanderbilt University Case Western/ Wake Forest Medical Center Metro-Health System Baptist Med Center INTERNAL MEDICINE INTERNAL MEDICINE GENERAL SURGERY Massachusetts General Hospital RADIOLOGY DIAGNOSTIC Lamont Wilkins David Xiong Wenda Ye Johns Hopkins UPMC Medical Vanderbilt University Hospital Education Medical Center UROLOGY INTERNAL MEDICINE OTOLARYNGOLOGY Case Western/ University Hospitals DERMATOLOGY Emily Zhang Jessica Zhang Cleveland Clinic UCLA Medical Center OTOLARYNGOLOGY INTERNAL MEDICINE Congratulations, Class of 2020!
