Imperial College researchers are developing medical training applications in Second Life (ward, operating theatre, etc). I’ve been helping the team out and produced this short radio piece as a concise intro to the work. (link via my personal blog)

On this topic, Webcina, the medical Web 2.0 guidance service has published a new guide called Medicine in Second Life which mentions Imperial, the Ann Myers Medical Centre and lots of other medical activities in Second Life.
It is free and here: http://www.webicina.com/medicine_in_second_life/what_is_second_life_75/
There was a lot I didn’t know in it, but it’s also really good for newcomers, with info on how to get started, which groups to join and an overview of the various different medical applications of virtual worlds.
