Residency Scheduling for Pediatrics Simplified
Thrawn's managed service takes your pediatric rotation constraints and delivers complete, mathematically optimal block, call, and clinic schedules so your team reviews instead of builds.
Why Pediatric Scheduling Is So Hard
Rotation Conflicts Break Everything
Balancing inpatient blocks against continuity clinic time means one change cascades into conflicts across every other rotation and call assignment.
ACGME Violations Caught Too Late
Duty hour violations are often discovered only after the schedule is published, forcing last-minute manual corrections that create new downstream problems.
Fairness Erodes Resident Trust
Manually distributing holiday call, night float, and coveted subspecialty electives makes it nearly impossible to prove equitable treatment to every resident.
Optimized Pediatric Schedules Delivered to You
Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language takes your pediatric program's rotation requirements, ACGME duty hour rules, resident preferences, and educational goals and produces finished, fair schedules. Program directors and chief residents review a completed schedule rather than building one from scratch — eliminating the scheduling workload entirely.
Built for Pediatric Residency Programs
Five capabilities selected for the specific complexity of pediatric rotation scheduling across inpatient, ambulatory, and subspecialty settings.
Rotation Blocks
Automated Pediatric Block Schedule Generation
Assigns every pediatric resident to the right inpatient, subspecialty, and elective blocks across the full academic year while satisfying PGY-level requirements, vacation preferences, and rotation complement rules — no manual placement needed.
- Year-long rotation assignments automated
- PGY-level requirement enforcement
- Elective and vacation preference honoring
Ambulatory Training
Continuity Clinic Balancing for Pediatric Residents
Optimizes continuity clinic assignments alongside block and call schedules so ambulatory training requirements are met without sacrificing inpatient coverage. Eliminates the clinic-block conflict that plagues pediatric programs.
- Continuity clinic volume balanced across cohort
- Clinic time integrated with block rotation
- Ambulatory training requirements met automatically
Compliance
Automated ACGME Duty Hour Compliance
Every pediatric schedule is generated with ACGME duty hour rules as hard constraints. Violations are prevented at generation time so your program never publishes a non-compliant schedule or scrambles to fix one after the fact.
- Violations prevented before generation
- 80-hour weekly limit enforced automatically
- Accreditation audit readiness built in
Schedule Coordination
Cross-Schedule Optimization for Pediatric Programs
Block, call, clinic, and attending schedules are optimized simultaneously as one connected system. Adjusting subspecialty block assignments no longer breaks the call schedule or creates continuity clinic gaps.
- Block and clinic schedules linked
- No downstream domino effect
- Single optimization across all schedule types
Equity Engine
Mathematically Fair Assignment Distribution
Holiday call, night float, and competitive subspecialty electives are distributed with mathematical precision across all pediatric residents. Every resident can see their assignments are equitable, reducing complaints and chief resident stress.
- Holiday and weekend equity enforced
- Coveted elective distribution balanced
- Bias removed from assignment process
