About Me
Dr. Ljubetic graduated from Universidad de los Andes (Chile, 2022), inspired to pursue a career in urology after being introduced to Reconstructive Urology by Dr. Reynaldo Gomez. Since then, she has been involved in clinical, translational, and basic science research. Her first postgraduate role was at Stanford Urology in Dr. Amy Dobberfuhl's lab, where she focused on Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery research. During this time, she also collaborated with Dr. Jose Miguel Flores and Dr. John Mulhall, from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, expanding her knowledge in sexual medicine research.
Currently, she is a Research Fellow in the Urology Department at the Cleveland Clinic, working under the mentorship of Dr. Petar Bajic and the Men's Health team. Her research interests include the connections between the human urobiome and urological disease processes.
Applying to the 2025 Urology Match, Dr. Ljubetic aims to combine clinical practice, research, and mentorship in her career. As a Hispanic physician, she is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the field.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading, creating digital illustrations on her iPad, and spending quality time with her friends.
