Residency scheduling for anesthesiology solved

Thrawn treats the Clinical Base Year (CBY) as a distinct scheduling tier within the overall residency structure. When your program submits its rotation requirements, CBY constraints — including required medicine, surgery, and critical care blocks — are built into the optimization as hard constraints. The scheduler ensures PGY-1 residents are assigned CBY-appropriate rotations before the system schedules CA-year residents, maintaining the correct training progression throughout.

Yes. Thrawn's cross-schedule optimization handles Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules simultaneously as one interconnected system. Attending FTE obligations, time-off requests, and service coverage requirements are factored into the same optimization run as resident schedules — so the two schedules are always aligned, not reconciled separately after the fact.

Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language enforces ACGME duty hour rules at the point of schedule generation. The 80-hour weekly limit, required rest periods, and shift length caps are modeled as hard constraints that the optimizer cannot violate. Violations are structurally impossible to produce, rather than flagged for a human to fix after the schedule is built.

Thrawn re-optimizes the affected schedule when an unplanned absence occurs. Rather than manually calling down a list or patching the schedule by hand, Thrawn generates compliant coverage alternatives that maintain fairness across the resident pool and preserve ACGME duty hour compliance — so an absence does not become an OR coverage crisis or a compliance incident.

Amion displays schedules but does not build or optimize them — your chief resident still does all the work. QGenda uses a rule-based engine that surfaces conflicts for a human to resolve. Thrawn's approach is fundamentally different: the Scheduling Programming Language produces a finished, mathematically optimal schedule from your constraints. You review the output rather than operating software to produce it. Thrawn also operates as a fully managed service, so there is no software to configure or learn.
