Dr Erika Barber
Assistant Professor of Medical Science at George Fox UniversityErika Barber is a physician and a professor at George Fox University, teaching pathophysiology for the medical science physician assistant program.
Dr. Barber grew up in southern Oregon as an evangelical protestant. She studied economics at Trinity University in San Antonio, and went to medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. She and twenty one other medical students spent much of their first summer in Calcutta, India working with the missionaries of charity there in a leper colony, orphanage and home for the dying and destitute. While in medical school, she met her husband Nick Barber at a local presbyterian church, and they married halfway through medical school.
After graduating, they moved to Portland to do a three year Internal Medicine residency together at Providence St Vincent Hospital and then moved back to Nebraska to do further training in a geriatric and oncology fellowship. It was there that they began to read more about Catholicism and were both eventually confirmed in the Catholic Church at Easter seven years ago. They have four children, ages 9-14 and live in Dundee, Oregon where they are members of St Peter Catholic Church.
Dr. Barber enjoys sports with her family, making kombucha, reading good books and leading a fitness class called High Fitness. She sees her vocation as a heart cultivator for her children, a soul encourager for her husband and a seeker of Him in whose image she is made.
