Our group visited the National Institute For Health in Second life.

Ivan, Tommy, Lei

Our group visited the National Institute For Health in Second life. It seems to be well laid out and involve a little more thinking and care on the part of the creators. Meaning there was a lot of information and links to more information. For instance, web links and links to Pub Med listings for a particular topic such as Breast cancer. There were also links to Breast cancer survivor stories. I listened to a podcast about how to create a family health history utilizing a family health history form and various tools on the web to help you complete this, which is for your information. I clicked on a virtual reality link that took me to the top of the Eiffel tower and had the ability to pan around. (What this has to do with healthcare, I’m not sure). There was microscope with some histology slides. I picked up a breast cancer pin. Clicked on various information links ( stem cell research, kewl.). Looks like a good place to get some info.
