Hi, Laura,
You might be interested in a recent presentation I did as an RL/SL
event. Slides are here.
<
http://www.slideshare.net/umhealthscienceslibraries/health-care-collaboration-community-in-virtual-worlds-second-life>
I have a notecard inworld with LMs for all the locations that are open
to the public. I also have a number of health SL tours set up as
notecards, and you are welcome to these as well.
Other sources of information would include:
SLHealthy
http://slhealthy.wetpaint.com/For SLHealthy, please use the list in the sidebar, and NOT the Filing
Cabinet. The Filing Cabinet is dated and not maintained. THe most
current information is always in the sidebar navigation menu.
Videos I've helped with:
Science Learning Opportunities in Second Life:

Second Life and Public Health: <

Virtual Health (a Second Life Tour):
<

You may also wish to join the Healthcare Education group. You can find
it listed in my profile, Perplexity Peccable.
For what you describe, I love the Big Cell on Genome Island, the Giant
Testes by DrDoug Pennell, and the treasure hunt humorous clinic model
on the research space in NMC.
Holler if you need anything. :)
