25th anniversary of Rehabilitation Studies at RSU

The Faculty of Rehabilitation at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) was established in 1994 back when the university was still called the Medical Academy of Latvia.

Aspiring physiotherapists were the first to start their studies at the newly established faculty. Over the past 25 years, over 2 000 functional specialists have graduated from RSU, among them audiologists and speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, technical orthopaedists, nutrition specialists, art therapists, as well as such rehabilitation professionals as rehabilitation physicians, social workers, health psychologists and others.

In celebration of the anniversary, the RSU Alumni Association invites all alumni of the Faculty of Rehabilitation to a reunion at the Alumni Evening on 20 September.Sign up for the alumni eveningMeet your former classmates and lecturers, share your memories and enjoy the festive atmosphere at the reunion.

Alumni Evening Programme: TBA

The establishment and development of the faculty is closely linked to the growth of the field of rehabilitation and its integration into the Latvian healthcare and social services system. The Alumni Event of the Faculty of Rehabilitation is a part of an event series organised to celebrate 25 years of rehabilitation education in Latvia. Alongside this event, RSU will host the first Latvian National Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine on 19 – 20 September 2019. It will gather a wide network of experts to reflect the multidisciplinarity of the field. The Latvian Association of Rehabilitation Professionals’ Organisations and RSU are the organisers of the congress in cooperation with the Latvian Association of Medical Rehabilitation and the RSU Alumni Association.
