We spoke with the newly appointed Dean about her immediate priorities, the importance of teamwork, and her activities beyond the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A familiar unit, yet no shortage of challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117 has been working at the LSMU Centre for Postgraduate Studies for almost three years. For the past six months, she has served as Acting Dean, having previously spent two years as Vice-Dean of the Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring this period, I became thoroughly familiar with the activities and strategic priorities of the Centre for Postgraduate Studies, as well as the functions of other LSMU divisions and, most importantly, the people who work within them. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from former Dean of the Centre for Postgraduate Studies Professor Juozas Kup\u010dinskas, Vice-Rector for Clinical Medicine Professor Renaldas Jurkevi\u010dius, previous deans of the Centre, and many other members of the LSMU community,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the new Dean, the Centre will continue to focus on its core activities, including organising postgraduate courses, placements and conferences, ensuring the quality of internship and residency training programmes, promoting medical resident mobility within Lithuania and abroad, and supporting the professional development of medical residents and their mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat pleases me most is that, together with the team, we have united around a shared vision and identified strategic goals for the future. For the third consecutive year, LSMU medical residency training has been organised using the Entrustable Professional Activities and the Medical Residency Electronic Register. In the near future, we plan to conduct both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of this model, involving all participants in the process \u2013 medical residents, residential programme directors, coordinators, mentors and administrators,\u201d explains Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the Centre\u2019s new and significant areas of focus is preparing healthcare professionals for wartime threats and other emergency situations. A project is currently being developed in cooperation with various LSMU divisions and external partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117 also sees opportunities to expand online training in generic competences for healthcare professionals, with particular emphasis on psychological resilience, teamwork, ethics and healthcare management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A professional team and new traditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking about her colleagues, Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117 emphasised that she is surrounded by highly experienced and professional specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur team includes the exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced specialists Birut\u0117 Gaulien\u0117, Inga Sribikien\u0117, Egl\u0117 \u010ciupkevi\u010dien\u0117, Lina Saltonait\u0117, Vaida Sudikien\u0117, Kristina Vosylien\u0117, Marija Iva\u0161kien\u0117, alongside IT specialist Rokas Pe\u010diulis and the newly appointed Vice-Deans Arvydas Gel\u017einis and Lukas \u0160emeklis. I will strive to recognise and empower every member of the team, encourage the development of new areas of activity and strengthen cooperation with international institutions,\u201d says the Dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creative activities also play a role in team-building. Before the summer holidays, the team plans to visit a ceramics studio. According to Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117, such activities help strengthen the sense of community and establish new traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A career that began at LSMU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117\u2019s professional journey began at LSMU, where she completed her Master\u2019s degree in Medicine, residency training in Neurology and doctoral studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis academic, scientific and clinical experience shaped me as a neurologist, educator and researcher. My studies and work at LSMU and the Hospital of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno Klinikos, together with placements at the Karolinska Institute and Uppsala University Hospital, as well as active involvement in national and international professional societies, enabled me to develop a broad range of competencies and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse applications of neurology, neuroscience and sleep medicine,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strong family support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about her personal motto, Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117 mentions two favourite sayings. The first is linked to her clinical speciality and originates from sleep science pioneer Allan Rechtschaffen, who famously observed that if sleep were not a vital biological function, it would be the greatest mistake ever made by evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe second saying reflects my own character and approach to achieving goals. It can be translated as: \u2018If you\u2019ve jumped over the horse, jump over its tail as well,\u2019\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her free time, the Dean enjoys staying active and engaging in cultural pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI regularly attend Pilates classes, go running and rollerblading. I also enjoy escaping into activities unrelated to medicine, such as theatre, reading and ceramics. I have been interested in the arts for some time, and from the autumn I plan to attend non-degree art history lectures,\u201d she shares her plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, however, Dr Paj\u0117dien\u0117 says that after work and business trips, nothing is more restorative and rewarding than returning home, where she can always rely on the strong support of her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We congratulate Dr Evelina Paj\u0117dien\u0117 on her new appointment and wish her every success in achieving her goals!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 21 May, during a meeting of the Senate of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU), Dr Evelina Paj\u0117dien\u0117 was elected Dean of the LSMU Centre for Postgraduate Studies.
