Fellowship Scheduling for Neurocritical Care Programs

Neurocritical care fellows often enter from neurology, anesthesia, internal medicine, emergency medicine, or neurological surgery, each with different training histories and ACGME requirements. Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language models each fellow's constraints individually, ensuring the generated schedule satisfies the correct duty hour rules and rotation requirements for every fellow's specialty background simultaneously, without manual workarounds.

Yes. Thrawn's optimization engine treats program duration, rotation distribution, and educational requirements as configurable constraints. Whether your program runs a 12-month or 24-month track, or both in parallel, the engine builds a schedule that satisfies the full set of ACGME NCC program requirements for each track without requiring separate manual processes.

Minimum critical care unit time is encoded directly into the optimization as a hard constraint, not a recommendation. The schedule cannot be generated in a way that leaves a fellow short of required unit time. This means program directors have mathematical assurance that every fellow's rotation plan meets ACGME neurocritical care curriculum requirements before the schedule is ever published.

Thrawn's scheduling specialists work directly with your program to document all rotation requirements, ACGME duty hour rules, fellow preferences, vacation requests, and educational goals before any schedule is generated. There is no software to configure or learn. Your team provides the constraints, and Thrawn delivers a finished schedule for review and approval.

When an unplanned absence occurs, Thrawn rapidly re-optimizes the affected schedule to generate alternative coverage that maintains fairness and ACGME compliance. Rather than emergency phone calls and manual patching, program coordinators receive a revised schedule that accounts for the absence without cascading disruptions to other fellows' rotation plans.
