I am thrilled to announce that I graduated as a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) today in the U.S.A.! Glory to God! This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, teachers, friends, well wishers and all those who believed in me. Thank you for your encouragement and guidance throughout this journey. I am excited to begin this new chapter and serve society as a dedicated doctor.

“Finding out that I matched felt surreal. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders, as I now had confirmation that I would actually be an interventional radiologist.”
Meet Grenadian SGU graduate, Toya Ameda, MD ‘24, who will be relocating to Miami, FL to begin her career as a preliminary surgery resident at Jackson Memorial Hospital. She will then transition to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA to start her integrated interventional radiology residency in 2025.
A highly competitive specialty, Dr. Ameda chose interventional radiology because she believes it is a revolutionary medical field—offering minimally invasive treatments to patients from routine procedures to lifesaving ones. “Its incorporation of the latest technologies and innovative techniques ensures that patients receive the most innovative advances in treatment without having to opt for the traditional invasive route.”
For Toya, she is forever grateful to her mentor and SGU alum, Sumeet Bahl, MD ’13, and couldn’t imagine not having him guiding her through the process. As someone who had been in Toya’s shoes vying for a residency spot in the same specialty, Dr. Bahl is now a practicing interventional radiologist at The Brooklyn Hospital Center and one of her biggest champions.
“I saw the fire in her as soon as I met her,” Dr. Bahl said. “She had incredible board scores, was well-spoken, and showed up for everything. She was called to one of the most competitive fields in medicine. There are very few black women in our field, let alone international medical graduates. This is a huge deal for the field, women in medicine, and her country.”

This big guy walked through the ER doors cool, calm & collected… with a GDV 😅. I’m thrilled to share his surgery went great, he was discharged the next day, and is healing like a champ!
He was the sweetest, most gentle giant of a pup (he weighed as much as me!) & had the biggest heart. ❤️🩹

So today my dream came true, I graduated as a doctor! I couldn’t have done it without the love, support, and sacrifice of so many; and to those folks I love you and thank you. My blood, sweat and tears have paid off and I can’t wait for what comes next… stay tuned.

Can’t believe the school part of my life is now over. It’s now time to be held accountable for my decisions and not hide behind my seniors to avoid responsibilities 😂 On to bigger things in life 😅 #sgugrad
