Second Life and medical education

I’ve been looking into what SL might have to offer education for medical and other health sciences professionals, since I heard the suggestion that it might be good for PBL. I though that notes of my preliminary researches might be of interest to others: 

Three places to find out more about who’s doing what:

Health education in SL wiki http://simteach.com/wiki/index.php?title=Health_Education  

SL roundtable in March on health education and medical training http://audiocourses.pbwiki.com/medic_150307

SL healthcare support and education mailing list (and archives) https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/healthcare 

Three sources of blogging in, about, for or with SL

    It seems that we’re interested in the same subjects. :)

    Very much so, and would like to keep tabs on your further explorations of SL.

    I have found it strangely difficult to piece together a pciture of various centres of interest and activity in this area (possibly because I’m not trying to do this within SL itself).
