What next?
Once you are ready to leave the orientation area/community, there will be a lot to explore. A listing of some of the notable health and medicine sites in Second Life is a good place to start your journey.

A recent issue of the Journal of Medical Internet Research is one of the best starting points. Among the many sites listed is Virtual Hallucinations, by our very own Peter Yellowlees, MD and James Cooke, MD.
