RSU receives surgical atlas as a gift
Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) has been gifted the surgical atlas Surgical Anatomy and Exposures of the Knee.
The authors of the atlas are Prof. Bertrams Zariņš, a distinguished Latvian physician, professor of sports medicine and orthopaedics at Harvard University’s Massachusetts General Hospital, and Dr Robert Śmigielski, a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at the Life Medical Centre in Warsaw.
Prof. Jana Pavāre, Dean of the RSU Faculty of Medicine, received the atlas and believes that it will complement the educational resources available to future doctors.
The gift was presented at a ceremonial event at the Latvian Medical Association dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the First World Congress of Latvian Physicians. During the event, the Latvian Medical Foundation awarded scholarships and the Prof. Ilmārs Lazovskis Medical Foundation. Prof. Zariņš visited Latvia specifically for this occasion and shared his memories of the first congress in 1989.
