AMMC is moving to a new SIM location on the Sprott-Shaw College Campus. We will post the new location here as soon as we have the new landmark.

I went to the University of Calgary with an Ann Myers - Class of 81. I’d love to know if this is the same person.

hi: I’m a psychologist on faculty in a dept. of psychiatry at a US medical school. How could I get involved in this project? I work on projects that involve national training and have been looking for innovative methods. I’d love to hear more. Where are you physically located?
on August 31, 2007 at 4:18 pm6 Bertalan Meskó

Dear Sandy, please first register at secondlife.com, then I’ll help you how to get to the AMMC in Second Life. Physically, we’re a global team, I have to say.

Some of us are from the US, others are from Brazil, Germany, Hungary, etc.

Thanks for the reply!
I am on SL and in fact that’s how I found you - I toured the empty building (and since nobody was around I even tried to get into the exam rooms, but I digress). Anyway, I’m still not sure what you all do, and when… do you have an e-mail group or do you meet on SL?
on August 31, 2007 at 6:27 pm8 Bertalan Meskó

Now I understand you, Sandy. Please take a look at this article, then you’ll know what we actually do: http://tinyurl.com/2la8l8

Give me a date and time, and let’s meet inside SL.

Hi Sandy….a lot of us are out of town or are at meetings this week, so AMMC has been quiet. We’re working on developing a curriculum through sloodle…sl + moodle..take a look at sloodle.com. We’re also going to be working with SPrott-Shaw to develop a curiculum for their nursing program.

What we’re doing now is presenting interesting and unique cases to the students, encouraging peer-discussions and covering the case in detail with them. Ann is away, but I’ll be willing to meet with you and go over ideas and plans and show you around…let me know. In SL I’m Vladimir Burdeyna.

Hi Sandy,
I’m CC Carnell in SL. Try to contact us in SL, and we will be glad to show you the island and answer all your questions.

Thanks everyone! In SL I’m Lolabar Barzane - a name selected before I knew that people did professional things in SL.

I probably won’t log on until tonight, and hopefully (although not definitely) will be on between 8 and 9 pm EDT. If we don’t connect this weekend (it’s a holiday in the US) then hopefully next weekend. I’ll be traveling this week and away from compatible computers.

Can’t seem to start another topic head, so I’m going to just post a reply. Had an interesting infectious disease case I’m going to present. I need to know what days and times you’re all available…I’ll make a notice about it, but it’d help me if you could either post it here or send me an IM in SL.
In SL I’m Elspet Glasgow

I’d love to give my nursing students a tour of the site, but I am not sure how to go about it. Are there arrangments which can be made ?

Greetings, Ernie. Are you already a member of the Second Life community? If so, we can certainly make arrangements for a tour. If you are not a member, you will need to go to http://www.secondlife.com and create an avatar through their site, dowloading the software and creating a name for your avatar. Your students will need to do the same in order to access the Second Life environment. Please let me know the name of the avatar you have created by leaving a message here or by writing to me at hemedoc@hotmail.com. I will be more than happy to give you a tour of our facility and discuss plans for medical training.

Hi,
I’ve just started work on a project with the University of Sussex. We are looking at ways to use Second Life for educational purposes that may not be possible in First Life. My team has been given the task of investigating cultural issues in medicine (specifically whether stereotypes should be a factor in medical treatment and the subtle choices involved) and designing a means to teach the subject to nursing students. I stumbled upon your medical centre and it seems to me that you already have in place some of the things we are trying to research, If you could provide me with any more information on your lessons and how you’ve achieved what you’ve done in Second Life it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Michelle,

Here is a collection of Second Life-related articles focusing on medical education. http://scienceroll.com/category/second-life/

Or you can join us anytime inside SL at the center.

Hello Bertalan
I am teaching a new class at California State with the objective of teaching nursing graduate students how to teach online. I am not a nursing instructor, I am in the teacher education department. The class is designed to be an overview of what distance education is and can be. I would like them to have an experience in SL because I feel it represents much that is possible in DE and also contains many topics of interest to them. Would there be a good time we could drop into the center to see what it is all about?
Thank you for your time.

Hello Diana,

Absolutely, I’m pretty sure it would be the pleasure of the whole AMMC staff. Let us know please a time and date and we’ll work it out.

Hi Ann.

My name is Michael and I work at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) on a program called MedEdPORTAL. MedEdPORTAL is a free, open-source, online publishing venue for medical educational resources. This is a globally accessible and free application. I’m interested in posting MedEdPORTAL workshops on SL but am unsure how to begin. I came across the AMMC and was wondering how I could access your program. Also, if you could provide me with information, or possibly collaborate to show how useful a source like MedEdPORTAL could be in SL.

I look forward to your response.

Hello Berci.

I just realized that I accidentally double-booked myself with appointments at 1pm. My apologies; however, please let me know which times best suit you and I will schedule something more applicable.

Hi Michael..many people will be away next. I’d like to coordinate this so you get to see the AMMC and talk to various people about what we’re doing. I’m thinking maybe we could set this up for April, that way the Founder and visionary of the project may be availble. Please list your dates and times for meeting…Bob

Any advice?

I’m passing your info to Dr Vlad…he’s a heme/onc that has information and can assist you. He’s out of town this week (3/17), but hopefully he’ll get in touch while he’s away.

Hi AMMC members who are pioneers of innovation!

I am putting together a presentation on te possibilities of virtual worlds like SL for medical organisations. Part of this presentation will be an online tour in SL. Any chance we could visit you and experience some of the groundbreaking work you’re doing?

Hi Bertralan, I was just reviewing this site and it’s great. Please feel free to use MDPIXX as a aplatform to store and discuss the clinical cases you manage from the Ann Myers Medical Center in Second Life.

Can be good idea

Hello, I’m working with some people at Stanford’s Medical center, and we were wondering, could AMMC could provide us with a parcel of Second Life land to start a medical simulation? Thank you.

Great site - Two questions:

I am working with a national medical organization and looking into SL as a way of educating people about imaging…

1. How do I get to AMMC in 2nd life - I am registered and couldn’t find it in the search?

2. Could I meet you in SL to take a tour?
