Saw this too. It was rather interesting and I thought it could be helpful for procedures, such as teaching how to attend to a patient but NOT for surgical situations.

But damn, they need to get rid of the duck walk and get some good A/O's going

I saw it this morning and thought it a good article about SL for a change, but it ends with some of the students saying it feels more like a game than a classroom. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but when will SL lose its association with games? Even the CEO has called it a game in the farewell letter it I read it correctly.

Ah well - I'm old enough to remember when home computers were thought of as expensive toys, too. Only people MUCH older than me still believe that.

I read last year that the Spanish Ministy of Health had opened a sexual health clinic for adolescents and staffed it with a team of qualified medical personnel. It's not really the same thing, I guess, but I would like to know how it fared.

It's most likely on the teen grid so visiting it is understandably out of the question.
