definition of health provided by the World Health Organization (WHO): Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity?. <br /> <br /> We provide a combination of far-sighted healthcare education and respect towards traditions rooted in the past. The knowledge you will acquire while studying with us will be fundamental for ensuring proper healthcare of tomorrow. - Prof. Inga Millere, dean, Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences<br /> <br /> The disciplines taught by the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences are built upon the necessity to ensure and develop multidisciplinary education and research in the fields of health care, public health and social welfare, taking a biopsychosocial and holistic approach at inter-personal, group and social level. Public health as an art and science can be traced back to the ancient Greek societies when people started to speculate on how to live a long and healthy life? Due to high-speed urbanisation, ageing population, environmental pollution and ecological issues, the necessity for effective health promotion and social welfare activity is gaining increasing importance.<br /> <br /> Studies<br /> Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences is the only faculty in Latvia offering a wide range of unique undergraduate and post-graduate study programmes. We are focused on producing future nurses, midwifes, nutrition and sports medicine specialists, likewise professionals in the fields of health psychology, supervision, public health, and social work. We are proud to offer high quality interdisciplinary education to our students, allowing them to become public health and social welfare innovators and industry leaders.<br /> <br /> The Medical Education Technology Centre offers supporting and safe environment for the students to shape their professional competences through resolution of simulated high-risk situations and tasks. The students may practice, learn and repeat various procedures and manipulations over and over until they reach the desired outcome and feel competent for practical work in real life conditions. The centre also offers the students the opportunity to develop practical health promotion skills at our fitness centre (for health sports specialists) and well-equipped kitchen classroom - for nutrition specialists.<br /> <br /> The Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences encompasses progressive education and respect for our traditions. We offer the opportunity to acquire valuable knowledge, industry focused skills and health care competences that will be needed tomorrow, therewith ensuring solid grounds for successful future growth.<div id=all_users_mobile><div class=show_all><a href='users.html'>ASPHER DIRECTORY</a></div></div> </div> <div class=clear></div> </div> <div class=clear></div></div> <div class=twitter_container style='margin-top:13px'> <div class=twitter></div> </div> <div id=foot>  <div id=foot_regular> <div id=copy>Copyright © 1966-2025 ASPHER.
