The Ghanian-born medical student received the news last week during "Match Day." It's a day where medial students find out exactly where they were selected.
Although she is the first Black female resident, it will still be a few years before she would become the first Black female neurosurgeon. "She will not officially be a neurosurgeon until she completes her residency in a few years," said the university.

Let's all congratulate Nancy Abu-Bonsrah on making history!
