Imperial College Virtual Medicine Showcased by Linden Labs

For the next 24 hours or so, Linden Labs are providing a link from the main Second Life log-in screen to Imperial College’s virtual medical facility.

Virtual Operating Theatre
Virtual Operating Theatre (with me, Erasmus Magic)

You can link there directly via this SLURL http://slurl.com/secondlife/Medical%20School/48/133/26 .  Over a thousand visitors in the last 24 hours.  All very interesting; so check it out.   I’ll be in-world over the next day (Erasmus Magic), so say hi if you see me.  And make sure you listen to the audio on the music channel, where I’m talking with some  of those involved in the development.

This is where you will arrive - Get a free set of 'scrubs' too!

Virtual Medicine

In this podcast I meet a team from Imperial College who are leading the field in the application of virtual worlds for medical training. The package was originally broadcast on the radio show Mission Impossible on ICradio.com on 23rd June 2009.
