Dr. Sofica Bistriceanu | Blending Medicine, Research, and Humanity

Dr. Sofica Bistriceanu, MD, PhD, is a family physician and researcher whose work blends science with empathy. A graduate of Iași University in Romania, she later trained in research at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Over the years, she has presented at more than 120 international conferences and published over 50 research papers in respected medical journals. Her commitment to medical advancement has also led her to serve on editorial boards and join the Academy for Professionalism in Health Care, representing the Academic Medical Unit, CMI in NT, Romania.

At the core of Dr. Bistriceanu’s research is a simple yet powerful idea: communication saves lives. She has explored how interactions—whether in person or online—can influence health outcomes. In her view, poor communication can lead to conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and depression, while compassionate listening and respect can enhance recovery and overall well-being. “Empathy and kindness are not extras in healthcare—they are essential,” she emphasizes.

Her work goes beyond research. Dr. Bistriceanu actively participates in global discussions on patient care and medical education, often contributing to international forums where professionals exchange ideas and strategies for better healthcare systems. She supports hybrid events to encourage broader participation and believes that sharing knowledge across borders is key to progress in medicine.

Outside the clinic and research lab, Dr. Bistriceanu expresses her understanding of life through poetry. She has published seven poetry books that reflect on nature, humanity, and the emotional side of care. For her, writing is another way of connecting with people and exploring the values that guide her medical practice. It is this unique blend of science and art that sets her apart in the medical community.

Through her dedication to patient care, global collaboration, and creative expression, Dr. Sofica Bistriceanu continues to inspire both colleagues and patients. Her work reminds us that healing is not just about treating a condition—it is about listening, understanding, and bringing a human touch to every interaction.
