Perfect fit: Stephanie Goike, M.D., Class of 2015, gives back to the school that gave her so much
When Stephanie Goike, M.D., recalls her interview at OUWB, a smile beams across her face as she recalls how she felt after the fact.
That’s because originally, Goike (nee Schley), OUWB ’15, primarily saw it as an opportunity to travel home to Michigan from the west coast and visit family. If the interview went well, then great, she says, but OUWB wasn’t her first choice.
Things changed quickly, though.
She fell in love with just about everything about the then-new school. Such feelings would eventually dictate the course of her career — and her personal life.
“I was so blown away by the experience,” she says. “I always think about coming home from the interview that night and how excited I was and how that’s just led me to this whole path I never could have imagined.”
Today, she is an emergency medicine physician at Corewell Health’s Beaumont Hospital, Troy.
Additionally, she’s an assistant professor of Emergency Medicine at OUWB, serves as the site director for OUWB at Troy, and is a mentor for members of the OUWB Class of 2024 through the school’s PRISM program.
“OUWB is still growing and changing and evolving,” she says. “I constantly see opportunities to give back to my alma mater and help it continue to grow.”
