Residency Scheduling for Neurology Optimized

Thrawn's managed service uses mathematical optimization to deliver complete, ACGME-compliant block and call schedules for neurology residency programs. Stop building. Start reviewing.

Why Neurology Scheduling Is So Hard

Cascading Rotation Breakdowns

One swap across inpatient neurology, neuroscience ICU, or stroke service unravels weeks of careful block scheduling across every PGY year.

Call Equity Is Nearly Impossible

Fairly distributing night float, weekend call, and holiday coverage across neurology residents by hand produces complaints and resentment every cycle.

ACGME Violations Found Too Late

Duty hour violations in neurology schedules are discovered after publishing, forcing last-minute rebuilds that put accreditation and resident wellbeing at risk.

Finished Neurology Schedules Delivered to You

Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language takes your program's constraints — neurology rotation requirements, resident preferences, night float rules, ACGME duty hour limits — and generates finished block, call, clinic, and attending schedules simultaneously. Chief residents and program directors review a complete product, not a conflict-riddled starting point.

Built for Neurology Residency Programs

Five capabilities selected for the specific scheduling demands of neurology training, from inpatient rotations to continuity clinic to night float.

Automated Block Scheduling Across All PGY Years

Rotation Planning

Automated Block Scheduling Across All PGY Years

Every neurology resident assigned to the right rotation — inpatient service, stroke, neuroscience ICU, pediatric neurology, and electives — across all training years, with educational requirements baked into the optimization.

  • PGY-year appropriate rotation assignment
  • Educational requirement enforcement built in
  • Elective and vacation preference integration
Fair Night Float and Call Distribution

Call Optimization

Fair Night Float and Call Distribution

Night float, weekend call, and holiday shifts distributed with mathematical precision across neurology residents. No gut-feel balancing or spreadsheet formulas that create inequity and complaints.

  • Night float equity across all residents
  • Weekend and holiday call balancing
  • Backup and jeopardy coverage handled automatically
ACGME Duty Hour Compliance Built Into Every Schedule

Compliance

ACGME Duty Hour Compliance Built Into Every Schedule

Neurology residency schedules are generated with ACGME duty hour rules satisfied from the start. Violations are prevented at generation time, not flagged after publication when recovery is painful.

  • Violation prevention not detection
  • 80-hour weekly limit enforced automatically
  • Accreditation audit readiness
Block Call and Clinic Optimized Together

System Coordination

Block Call and Clinic Optimized Together

Block, call, clinic, and attending schedules for your neurology program treated as one interconnected system. A change in one does not cascade into failures across the others, eliminating the domino effect.

  • Simultaneous multi-schedule optimization
  • No domino effect from single changes
  • Attending and resident schedules aligned
Instant Re-optimization for Neurology Coverage Gaps

Rapid Response

Instant Re-optimization for Neurology Coverage Gaps

When a neurology resident is unexpectedly unavailable, Thrawn re-optimizes the affected schedule rapidly. No emergency phone trees, no manual patching — coverage is maintained while fairness and compliance are preserved.

  • Rapid unplanned absence re-optimization
  • Fairness maintained during coverage changes
  • ACGME compliance preserved automatically
