Hygiene and Ecology Department UJCM took interest in courses regarding cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, due to nature of specialist working in Department and their research. Thanks to close collaboration between Hygiene and Ecology Department and Krakow's Cardiac Institute there is possibility to run course dealing with different types of cooperation in and among different medical professions. Since it is believed that medical students are aware of different specializations and the majority of them choose their areas of interest during the 3rd-4th year of studies, those courses were planned at the end of second semester of 4th year of medical education. To cooperate with these, students from other faculties (Nursery, Emergency Medicine, Medical Technicians etc) were invited to participate in course with using a virtual patient's setting. During the course it is being stressed upon the need of good practice and interprofessional cooperation between specialists from different professions during the process of proper management of the patient suffering from the leading cause of sudden death which is, nowadays, cardiac failure and all diseases leading to it (heart infarction, arrhythmia, high blood pressure etc). Using the virtual patient's setting and role-playing skills of doctors who moderate this course, several problem-based cases will be presented, each leading students to their own conclusion why this cooperation and trust in others abilities is so vital in patients management.
