Abstract:
Three-dimensional virtual environments enable very realistic ludic, social, cultural, and educational activities to be carried out online. Second Life® is one of the most well-known virtual environments, in which numerous training activities have been developed for healthcare professionals, although none about radiology. The aim of this article is to present the technical resources and educational activities that Second Life® offers for training in radiology based on our experience since 2011 with diverse training activities for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Second Life® is useful for carrying out radiology training activities online through remote access in an attractive scenario, especially for current generations of students and residents. More than 800 participants have reported in individual satisfaction surveys that their experiences with this approach have been interesting and useful for their training in radiology.
