Initiated by Professor Iveta Ozolanta the first RSU Research Conference on medicine was held on 26 Februrary 1999 marking a significant turning point in the scientific life of Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU).
Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) and the Red Cross Medical College that is under RSU supervision share a coordinated study process, a complementary succession of study programmes and shared use of resources. The Director of the College Ināra Upmale is certain that shared values and a strong belief in the disciplines and methods which have been prioritised in medical education strengthen the quality and serve as a precondition for training outstanding professionals.

It would be overly poetic, and also slightly inaccurate, to say that spring is not only the time when flowers start to bud but also when medical students' relationships with their potential employers first start to appear. The majority of future physicians take the first steps towards their future speciality already in the last two years of their studies – they volunteer and participate in student interest groups, and choose specific topics and supervisors for their sixth-year research papers.

Gynaecologist and obstetrician Lāsma Līdaka (pictured) has a pragmatic approach to research, stressing that it is unlikely that she could win the Nobel Prize through her work analysing processes on a local level. Taking the local approach does, however, give an opportunity to gain insight into the situation in Latvia, and to understand what can be changed in how work with both patients and students is currently conducted.
