Tirty-eight years ago, Toronto Notes began as a humble

initiative, with medical students from the University of Toronto

collecting and circulating their notes. Nearly four decades later

– with annual editions and an ever-expanding vision – Toronto

Notes has become one of the most trusted medical review texts;

it is a resource that is cherished by trainees and physicians

throughout Canada and around the world.

Te Toronto Notes for Medical Students Inc. is a nonproft

corporation whose mission is to provide a trusted medical

resource in order to give back to our community. Tis year,

while our global community continued their fght for racial

justice and battled the COVID-19 pandemic, locally we were

also devastated by the loss of our colleague, Mohammad Asadi-

Lari, an MD-PhD student at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine,

who was a passenger on the Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752 that

crashed on January 8th, 2021. As a country, we also reeled from

the discovery of unmarked graves across Residential Schools in

Canada, reminding us once again of the discrimination, injustice,

and racism Indigenous Peoples have faced and continue to

face. Keeping in line with our values and community needs,

all proceeds from Toronto Notes sales are directly donated to

support both global and local initiatives. Tis year we have

contributed to a new program by the Community of Support at

the University of Toronto, the Indigenous Student Mentorship

Fund, to support Indigenous students in gaining mentorship

for careers in medicine. Toronto Notes also supported the Black

Health Alliance with their African, Caribbean, Black (ACB)

COVID-19 Public Awareness Initiative – a collaboration with

the Black Medical Students Association of Canada, and the

Black Youth Helpline. Among other initiatives, we have also

supported U of T Medicine class activities, student scholarships

and bursaries (such as the Mohammad and Zeynab Asadi-Lari

award), our Dafy annual musical fundraiser for the Canadian

Cancer Society, and the entirety of our (over twenty-fve)

student-led outreach programs that seek to enrich lives in the

community.

Tis is why we, and all the members of our U of T team, gladly

dedicated so many hours toward this immensely involved

project. As our valued reader, we thank you for your honest

and vital fnancial contribution through your purchase of our

textbook. Each book sold makes an important diference.

Te 2022 edition features substantial content revisions to

the text, fgures, and graphics of all 32 chapters, following a

comprehensive review by our student and faculty editorial

team. Up-to-date, evidence-based medicine studies are also

summarized in highlighted boxes throughout the text. Tis year,

one of our priorities was to include a table of ofen discussed

Landmark Clinical Trials in every chapter. Alongside our

textbook-wide revisions, the Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery,

the Geriatric Medicine, and the Infectious Diseases chapters

have received substantial expansions to increase their utility

in practice. In addition to content updates, the Toronto Notes

2022 Clinical Handbook chapters now include a section on Do

Not Miss Diagnoses to guide your learning during clerkship

rotations. Toronto Notes prioritizes cultural sensitivity, health

equity, and strives for accurate representation of our vibrant and

diverse communities. To enhance our team’s editorial lens on

these concepts while editing the chapters, training was provided

by the Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Ofce and Ofce of

Inclusion & Diversity at the University of Toronto.

We sincerely thank each of our 207 student editors and 101 faculty

editors, whose meticulous revisions and shared dedication to

the bettering of this text has helped make Toronto Notes 2022
