3 Toronto Notes 2016

Dedicated to all

past and present contributors

and

supporters of Toronto Notes

who have made the production of the 2016 edition possible!

Note:

Many of you have wondered about the Toronto Notes logo, which is based on the rod of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. The rod of Asclepius consists of a single serpent entwined around a staff. This icon symbolizes both rebirth, by way of a snake shedding its skin, and also authority, by way of the staff.

In ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and a skilled practitioner of medicine who learned the medical arts from the centaur Chiron. Asclepius’ healing abilities were so great that he was said to be able to bring back people from the dead. These powers displeased the gods, who punished Asclepius by placing him in the sky as the constellation Orphiuchus. The rod of Asclepius is at times confused with the caduceus, or wand, of Hermes, a staff entwined with two serpents

and often depicted with wings. The caduceus is often used as a symbol of medicine or medical professionals, but there is little historical basis for this symbolism.

As you may have guessed, our logo uses the rod of Asclepius that is modified to also resemble the CN Tower – our way of recognizing the university and community in which we have been privileged to learn the art and science of medicine.

4 Toronto Notes 2016

Preface – From the Editors

Dear Readers,

As the Editors-in-Chief of Toronto Notes 2016 we are

proud to present this updated edition.

Toronto Notes began humbly in 1985 from a set of

student notes circulated among medical students at

the University of Toronto. Over time, Toronto Notes

has grown into one of the premier study resources for

generations of Canadian medical school graduates.

This rich history has led to our firm commitment to

publish a comprehensive study resource for medical

students engaged in clinical rotations and studying

for both the USMLE Step 2 and Canadian MCCQE

Part 1.

For over 30 years we have remained committed to

our original vision. The 2016 edition of Toronto Notes

contains significant improvements including:

1. A new emphasis on ‘Approaches to Common

Clinical Presentations’ in addition to traditional

content organized by disease.

2. A completely revised Psychiatry chapter

incorporating the DSM-V in a quick-to-reference

and readable format.

3. The Toronto Notes Quiz App, which is available

for free on iTunes and Google Play. This app

contains hundreds of questions allowing users to

test themselves on the content contained within

Toronto Notes.

4. A significantly improved interactive eBook with

many new high-quality colour images.

5. A brand-new Clinical Handbook that is more

concise, has numerous new figures, and features

approaches to hundreds of common clinical

situations.

Toronto Notes 2016 is produced by Toronto Notes

for Medical Students Inc., which is a non-for-profit

organization supporting various charity organizations

in the city of Toronto. This year Toronto Notes

for Medical Students has supported organizations

including medical school clubs, community outreach

groups, student bursaries and scholarships, and the

Canadian Cancer Society. Your purchase of Toronto

Notes 2016 is much appreciated by these well-

deserving groups.

We would like to highlight the exceptional work of

our team, composed of over 150 medical students,

medical illustrators/artists, and faculty members

at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.

Without the tireless effort expended by these

individuals the production of Toronto Notes 2016

would not have been possible. In particular, we would

like to highlight the work of the executive team, all of

whom made personal sacrifices in balancing clinical

work with the responsibilities asked of them. We also

want to highlight the work of Jesse Lu and Kota Talla,

without whom the production of the Toronto Notes

Quiz App would not have been possible. Lastly, we

would like to thank our partners at Type & Graphics

Inc., particularly Enrica Aguilera, for their guidance

during the production of Toronto Notes 2016.

We hope you find Toronto Notes 2016 enhances your

medical knowledge and allows you to perform better

on both your clinical rotations and licencing exams.

We continue to encourage feedback – this year, we

have read and incorporated every piece of feedback

we received about the previous edition of Toronto

Notes. On behalf of the Toronto Notes 2016 team, we

wish you success in your studies.

Sincerely,

Zamir Merali, BSc. and Jason D. Woodfine, BSc.
