The Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Faculty of Medicine is implementing a new, innovative study course aimed at developing students’ research and collaboration skills. Until now, medical students in their sixth year of studies had to prepare a research paper, but often without the necessary preparation and prior knowledge.
Evija Siliņa will defend her doctoral dissertation on 11 November in an open meeting of the Clinical Medicine doctoral committee. Her dissertation is titled 'Anxiety and Depression and Their Associated Factors in Children with Type 1 Diabetes and Their Parents in Latvia.'
