Mayo Clinic in Second Life, Lee Aase, social media guru, and the 2010 ICSI/IHI Colloquium in May

Giving the term “virtual colonoscopy” a whole new meaning, Mayo Clinic hosted its first presentation in Second Life on March 31, 2010. I missed this event but recently stopped by to check out their SL island and took these snapshots. It looks to me to be developing nicely and I look forward to future presentations.

From the site above: "In recognition of March as Colon and Rectal Cancer Awareness Month, Paul Limburg. M.D., of Mayo Clinic’s Departments of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Preventive, Occupational, and Aerospace Medicine will be giving a lecture in Second Life on 'Tools & Tips to Prevent Colorectal Cancer.'"

After the event Lee Aase, Mayo Clinic manager for Syndications and Social Media, wrote a nice post on his SMUG site titled "First Event in Second Life." I was especially interested in his impressions as it was the first time he attended a Second Life event.

In this informative blog post, ICSI President, Dr. Kent Bottles, mentions Lee Aase, "Mayo Clinic social media guru," will give a lecture at the 2010 ICSI/IHI Colloquium, there will be a panel with social media pioneers like Ben Heywood and Jen McCabe as well.

I will also be there presenting as part of the innovation track on, "How Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health Professionals and Patients Use Second Life."  As Dr. Bottles stated "This is not your usual conference."

It's not too late to register and join us for the 2010 ICSI/IHI Colloquium on Health Care Transformation May 3-5, 2010 in St. Paul, MN.
