Hi! I'm Iulia Barbur, MD .
General Surgery Resident
- She meets students exactly where they are with sessions that are personalized and adaptive, offering structure without rigidity. She’s especially gifted at identifying roadblocks and helping students move past them with confidence and clarity.
- She is passionate about mentorship, helping students not just pass their exams, but feel confident and prepared for the bigger journey through medical school and into residency.
- “I enjoy when students will often start to build on new understanding by trying to use it to further explain other concepts we are discussing. It’s so rewarding to see a student who previously struggled now have new confidence and try their hand at ‘teaching the tutor!’”
I show students that I am just as invested as they are in their success, and that I am rooting for them and believe in them every step of the way!
