We wanted to create a place for patients to access reliable, evidence-based information related to gynaecologic care. We also hope gynaecologists can use these resources as they counsel patients in the clinic or hospital setting.
In this collaboration, Staff Gynaecologists have partnered with Obstetrics and Gynaecology residents and University of Toronto medical students to create a unique collection of patient handouts. We look forward to building and updating these resources over time. You can search your topic of interest and click the image to view your desired handout.
We recognized the need for trusted, evidence-based, accessible information for pregnant and postpartum Canadians. We are pleased to bring you the Pregnancy Handout Project. It is a guide to pregnancy, focused on providing commonly searched information to people with a singleton pregnancy, which has been endorsed by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC). We are also proud to announce that the printed handbook is our inaugural philanthropic initiative, with proceeds being directed toward addressing food insecurity among pregnant people.
This material is intended for use by Canadian residents only, and is solely for informational and educational purposes. The information presented is not to be used as a substitute for medical advice, independent judgement, or proper clinical assessment by a physician. The context of each case and individual needs differ between patients and this material cannot be applied without consultation with a trained doctor. This material reflects the information available at the time of preparation.
