Jennifer Gates found herself a pair!
On Friday, the daughter of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda Gates announced in a post on Instagram that she had been placed in the National Resident Matching Program, which determines the first place for young doctors in the US
“The pediatrician is coming!!! ππ©ββοΈ,β Gates, 27, wrote in the post, alongside a photo of herself smiling for the camera in a black dress, holding a card announcing the hospital she will be working for.
“I am thrilled to finally be able to say that after 4 years of medical school, I have applied for a pediatric research internship at Mount Sinai,” Gates continued. βWhat a dream come true β I can’t wait to learn from amazing healthcare providers and patients about what it’s all about to become a doctor.
“Residence here we come! π©Ίπ©ββοΈπ,” she finished, adding the hashtag “#matchday2024” to share her results with her fellow future doctors.
“Congratulations @jenngatesnassar!” Bill, 68, wrote in an Instagram Story post alongside a picture of his daughter. “I’m so impressed with youβand the doctor you’re becoming.”
Bill has long supported his oldest child’s dreams of becoming a doctor. In May 2023, he and Melinda were seen together at Jennifer’s graduation from Columbia University.
Gates’ mom also weighed in on the comments, writing, βSo proud of you! Congratulations on this next chapter.β
Her sister Phoebe Gates, 21, also shared the love, simply commenting with two clapping hands emojis on Gates’ post.
