Title
A July spike in fatal medication errors: a possible effect of new medical residents.
Authors
Phillips, David P; Barker, Gwendolyn E C
Abstract
Each July thousands begin medical residencies and acquire increased responsibility for patient care. Many have suggested that these new medical residents may produce errors and worsen patient outcomes-the so-called "July Effect;" however, we have found no U.S. evidence documenting this effect.
