Your Second Life in students' hands

Students can take on assignments within the hospital. In the respiratory ward, as seen here, students can listen to audio samples of a patient with breathing difficulties by clicking on the board on the wall and pick what action to take next by clicking on a virtual blackboard.

If appropriate, the trainee doctors can then request an X-ray scan from the virtual radiology department down the corridor.
