When do new residents come on?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It's in July right and not August?

I tend to think Medicine JI in July would be a bad idea because of all the difficulty transitioning to new interns.

Yes it is July, but I think you are overthinking it. New interns are not going to have much significant impact on your experience, nor you on theirs.
 
Well won't the 2's and 3's be preoccupied trying to get the interns up to speed and not have time for helping JI's.

When I've observed the interactions, the JI's at least in some hospitals end up working with the 2's and 3's.

They impact the attendings a whole lot more than us lowly med students. Some departments in some hospitals do not permit attendings to take vacations in July. Its written into your contract at those places. Anesthesia is notorious for that.
 
Generally July. Not always July 1st. It's usually the Monday closest to July 1st. I know of at least one program that starts mid June actually. However, that does appear to be an outlier.
