This year, the Latvian Medical Association Lecturer of the Year Award went to Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Department of Biology and Microbiology Lecturer and Assoc. Prof. Rudīte Koka. What should you do in order to become lecturer of the year and is it better to work hard to win the award, or is it better not to know about the award at all? We have many questions, so we invited the winner of the award to a conversation.
