Scheduling for Chief Residents That Just Works

Thrawn delivers finished Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules ready for your review and approval. You send your program's constraints — resident preferences, rotation requirements, ACGME duty hour rules, vacation requests, and educational goals — and Thrawn's optimization engine produces a complete, conflict-free schedule. You review a finished product rather than building one from scratch.

Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language enforces ACGME duty hour rules at the point of schedule generation. The 80-hour weekly limit, 24-plus-4 shift caps, required rest periods, and day-off requirements are all hard constraints in the optimization. Violations cannot appear in a finished schedule — they are prevented before generation, not flagged after you have already published.

Thrawn is a fully managed done-for-you service. Chief residents do not operate any software. Thrawn's scheduling specialists work with your program to capture all constraints, run the optimization, and deliver finished schedules for your review. There is no platform to learn, no configuration burden, and no software to maintain.

Thrawn uses a mathematically balanced equity engine that distributes desirable and undesirable assignments — nights, weekends, holidays, coveted rotations — with precision across all residents. Because the distribution is driven by mathematical optimization rather than manual judgment, chief residents can demonstrate equitable scheduling objectively and reduce complaints about perceived bias.

Thrawn supports rapid re-optimization for unplanned absences. Rather than manually patching coverage and risking new conflicts or ACGME violations, Thrawn re-runs the optimization with the updated constraints and generates alternative coverage that maintains fairness and compliance across the full schedule.
