SecondLook™ Needs Your Support:
Please support the SecondLook™ initiative with a donation to our Michigan Medicine SecondLook™ Donation Champaign(link is external). Your donation will enable us to update all existing SecondLook™ resources and to transform them into completely free Progressive Web Applications (PWA), including the SecondLook™Histology apps. It will also benefit the publication of several new topics (Hematology, Pathogen ID, and Gross Anatomy). Any size contribution is welcomed and will help us to provide these popular review tools to students at the University of Michigan and to many more worldwide.
