Physician Scheduling Software Built for Residency Programs

Most physician scheduling software for residency programs uses rule-based engines that generate suggestions requiring human intervention to resolve conflicts. Thrawn's proprietary Scheduling Programming Language (SPL) is a mathematical optimization engine that produces complete, finished schedules from your constraints. There is no software for your team to operate and no manual conflict resolution. You review a finished product.

ACGME compliance is enforced at generation time, not detected after the schedule is built. Thrawn's optimization engine treats duty hour rules as hard constraints, meaning an 80-hour weekly limit violation, inadequate rest period, or missing day off cannot appear in a published schedule. This is fundamentally different from tools that flag violations after the fact and require manual correction.

Yes. This is one of Thrawn's core differentiators. Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules are optimized simultaneously as one interconnected system using the SPL engine. This eliminates the domino effect, where a change to one schedule type cascades into conflicts across others. Each schedule type is aware of the others during generation.

Thrawn operates as a done-for-you managed service. Thrawn's scheduling specialists work with your program to document your constraints, including resident preferences, rotation requirements, ACGME rules, vacation requests, and educational goals. No software configuration is required from your team. Once constraints are captured, Thrawn generates finished schedules for your review and approval.

Thrawn currently serves 19 departments across 14 hospitals at multiple top-20 academic health systems on the East Coast, West Coast, and Southwest. Programs span residency and fellowship. Thrawn is GME-native, meaning it is built specifically for graduate medical education scheduling structures rather than adapted from enterprise-wide physician scheduling platforms.
