Managing Requests

stanfordchiefs

I see that there is a way to manage resident days off and vacation requests. However, I am wondering if there is a way to manage specific block requests. For example, there are various required rotations during the three year program, but some residents would prefer to have certain rotations during certain blocks. Is there a way to input those requests so that they are considered when doing the speed randomizer schedule option?

Hi Jared,

Unfortunately there is currently no way to specify that a resident would like a certain rotation on a certain block. Making Annual Rotations Schedules (aka "Master Schedules") in the MedRez.net Scheduling Tool is a manual process at this time (the Randomizer is for Call / Shifts schedules).

The easiest way to deal with this situation is to give residents their preferred rotations at the beginning of the schedule-making process, then fill in the remaining blanks.

You can also set rotations to allow vacations or not. This allows residents to request a vacation-friendly block by requesting a vacation during the block (they can later change their actual vacation request if necessary).

I hope that helps,
