Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) has implemented an unprecedented project in Latvian medical education – between 6 and 17 December, two floors of the the Medical Education Technology Centre (METC) were transformed into a simulated hospital. This simulation had a department of internal diseases, a department of surgery, as well as treatment rooms, a nurse post, and wards with mannequins and actors playing patients.

The global medical summit Barriers come down: Exploring a new paradigm in medical education, research and healthcare took place on 14–16 December. It is organised by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, the world’s leading provider of services, analytics, and insight to the global higher education sector. The summit looked at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical education, research, and innovation.

Although this year has passed in the shadow of COVID-19, life has continued in all areas and industries – writers have published new books, artists have written songs and created works of art, athletes have trained and participated in competitions, researchers have worked hard in laboratories conducting research and making significant discoveries.

RSU lecturers and students have expressed their opinion on which event, achievement or discovery has been the most significant this year in the world.
