Episode 025 - The ”July Effect” Fact or Fiction

The ACOPedscast has officially reached the quarter-century mark!! (Don’t worry we are just talking about episode count not actually years!) It’s July, and certainly we have all either feared or survived the “July Effect”. For this month’s podcast Jason, Scott, and student correspondent Swetha sit down and break down the myth of the July effect, and how we as preceptors can help put this rumor to rest. Swetha comes with some amazing questions to help bring to light how this phenomenon came to be, if there are any little thruths behind it, and how to counteract it while you are starting your first rotations, or starting a new level in your training. There is so much information in this, we tried to split it into two parts but just couldn’t find a great breaking point, so feel free to take your own intermission as you listen to the feature movie length 90 minute episode!!
