Doctors treating virtual patients in Second Life

hmmmm... pretty interesting

Quote:

(CNN) -- At Imperial College London, medical students navigate a full-service hospital where they see patients, order X-rays, consult with colleagues and make diagnoses.

It's an interactive, hands-on learning experience -- and none of it is real.

The third-year med students are taking part in a pilot program for game-based learning, which educators believe can be a stimulating change from lectures and textbooks.

man the office episode with second life was great.

Personally I think some things are better left done the old fashioned way but it is interesting.

Obviously this doesn't apply to med students but funny none the less:
