Download Toronto Notes 2022 Easily In PDF Format For Free
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
