We approach the topics related to gender equality in medical sciences arias and medical research and the importance of having extraordinary mentors. In the 50s and 60s, it was very difficult for a woman to be a doctor – women gathered around strong and relevant men- but it is not available nowadays. She still recommends young professionals have mentors with common passions.
Luiza Spiru says that among her resident doctors and her Ph.D.students, most are women (90%). She admits that women can do more, but they need more understanding and support. „Women are very well genetically endowed and they are responsible by their nature. A woman approaches things from the perspective of partnership, care for family and relationships.”
