The aim of the Department of Paediatrics is to be a modern student and staff-friendly education and science centre in the field of paediatrics whose activities should be recognizable not only in Latvia but also beyond its borders. The department’s research spans clinical areas that aim to generate new knowledge for improving the health of children. The department believes children are the world’s most precious resource and this ethos powers its positive culture where people and ideas thrive.
Key Action Areas: undergraduate education in paediatrics in accordance with the accredited programmes within Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU), continuing education in paediatrics and its sub-specialties (implementation of the medical residency programmes and professional development programmes for medical doctors), implementation of doctoral programmes, scientific research in paediatrics and its sub-specialties (international research, national programmes, grants, student, resident and other research), cooperation with Children’s Clinical University Hospital in diagnosing, treating and preventing paediatric diseases, cooperation with other RSU structural units, national and international institutions and non-governmental organisations while implementing the strategy of RSU and the Department of Paediatrics, cooperation with the community in promoting children’s health and preventing paediatric diseases.
Research directions: paediatric diseases, their epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Projects:
