to one testquestion
Who founded Genome Island on SL?
A Professor, a doctor, a high school teacher or a medical student

"a professor" was wrong but if you look at the tutorial: .. was created by M.A.C. .. who is a professor ..

Thank you, just made the correction!

you work so fast. Are you always online?

Is it possible to get a mail, if somebody is posting in the forum?

Thank you, virtual world will lead the medicine world

Thank you for the additional links in this video. I am hoping to subscribe. In my previous studies, we used a simulator programme for training to use a linear accelerator and treatment planning ( dosimetry). I will be researching to find similar tools to keep these skills up to date. In my profession, continuous professional development is compulsory for practice (as per governing body), I believe this topic of virtual reality in medicine could be highly beneficial to areas such as treatment planning and immobilisation simulation/ gantry angles/ beam arrangements etc. I look forward to seeing this application in medicine more.
Thank you again, I am learning a lot from this class.

Kind Regards,

Catherine
