The Toronto Notes Clinical Handbook is a pocket-sized companion resource to Toronto Notes 2011, and contains concise, up-to-date clinical data for medical students and residents. A handy reference to the diagnosis and management of common clinical presentations, it provides relevant and on-the-spot information to assist with daily clinical encounters.
The Handbook is divided into four removable sections, including General Clinical Tools, Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Primary Medicine & Other Specialties. Each section is divided into specialties or subspecialties, each of which begins with a basic approach to history and physical examination, and is followed by concise descriptions of common presentations and conditions, including associated investigations and treatments. The handbook also contains a concise guide to common medications, divided by specialty, as well as an easy-to-use reference for common antibiotics.
The Clinical Handbook maintains a high standard of quality by having rigorous review from specialists in a wide range of medical and surgical subspecialties. Furthermore, it contains current evidence-based clinical practices, and a yearly updated list of landmark clinical trials.
