Pavarti Dav speaks about "Virtual Environments for Healthcare" at the 2102 Serious Play Conference
ABSTRACTS:
Healthcare training is an apprenticeship when so many other professions have incorporated simulations and virtual environments for their training. Flight simulation for pilots is so powerful that a pilot trained on a simulation of a new plane is considered competent to fly the real plane for the first time with a full load of passengers and cargo. What should virtual environments for healthcare look like, be capable of, encourage, constrain? What are the barriers to use? We will explore these questions and examine the current status of healthcare virtual environments.

Multi-player virtual worlds are well-suited to training teams to work together.
My favorite is a scientific meeting in which I participated in the World of Warcraft. We all assembled in this great hall – both humans and non-humans
Then we all rushed across the countryside to the quiet remote spot for our discussion I would surely have dies many grisly deaths if I had nothad the protection of my staffer an experienced level-60 witch
We ended the session with this quest on top of a hill The meeting itself went on fro two days And was reported in Science magazine
Does anyone remember … Those were the wild and woolly days of virtual environments, in 2008 When everyone jumped in, and then they all jumped out.
But we had been building medical virtual environments since 2004
Sandbox is actually very difficult to do well. If these are at two ends of a balance scale,build something that is mostly Campaign, with a little Sandbox. Much more likely to be successful and to satisfy. Of course, the end goal is a richly detailed Virtual Hospital, a Sandbox, in which the stories and the learning are emergent.
There were so many ideas they did not fit on a slide.
