Patient safety is one of the cornerstones of quality healthcare, and its importance in the training of future doctors continues to grow.
New specialists must not only be able to diagnose and treat but also to recognise potential risks, learn from mistakes, and implement solutions that will improve the quality of healthcare in the long term.
We invite all Rīga Stradiņš University students to join an exciting adventure, the RSU Orienteering game, where you'll get the chance to test your knowledge, creativity, and team spirit!
During the event, students will compete in teams by following clues, completing practical challenges, and answering trivia questions. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore RSU, strengthen friendships, and have fun!
