eduSched was the first scheduling platform to embrace Evolutionary Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence technology as a valid and efficient method for generating schedules.
Efficient
Our Schedule Planner interface takes the pain out of planning clinical schedules for cohorts of students and makes it a piece of cake. Learn more.
Experienced
Our team has 10+ years of scheduling expertise with higher education programs. eduSched is the accumulation of all those years of experience applied to the health science education sector.
Compatible
eduSched works together with eMedley’s other solutions so your program can effortless handle documentation requirements and see the full picture of how students, clinical instructors, and sites are performing in clerkships. Learn more.
Powerful
Manage every facet of the scheduling process in a single application, from preferences and capacities to mailing and reporting.
Versatile
eduSched is designed to support all types of scheduling using a modular approach so each program has the functionality they need, with support for custom modules. Learn more.
Student Preferences
Students can enter preferences for clinical sites and/or preceptors using an interfactive map of available placements.
Scheduling Calendar
Manage daily students schedules in a familiar calendar format, with options to see schedules for a specific student or for an entire cohort.
Student Agenda
Allow students to view their previous, current, and future schedules from within the application and export clinical site and preceptor information.
Preceptor Schedule
Allow preceptors to view their previous, current, and future schedules from within the application with filters for date, student, and rotation.
Capacity Tracking
Manage and track the number of spaces a site and/or preceptor will take for a specific rotation and given time period. Use this information when scheduling to see which spots are filled or still available.
Capacity Keywords
Specify keywords on capacities that can then be searched for by administrators when adding schedules or by students when entering preferences.
Schedule Driven Mail Merge
Send customized emails to only preceptors and site contacts where students have been placed using our robust Mail Merge interface. Useful for providing scheduling information or sending personalized thank you letters.
Ad-Hoc Reporting
Build custom reports with schedule, student, preceptor, and clinical site data using a comprehensive, but simple interface. Print or export the results.
Advanced Functionality
Multi Preceptor Rotations
Assign mulitple preceptors to a schedule or allow students to select which preceptors they are scheduled with once they are at the clinical site.
Schedule Gap/Overlap Reporting
Review overlapping rotations and gaps between rotations to verify student schedules.
Region Management
Assign students, clinical sites, and faculty directors to regions to split up the scheduling responsibilities by geographic location.
Required Rotations
Specify rotations that need to be scheduled during the year for each class of students. Works together with student preferences.
Rotation Prerequisites
Define prerequisite rules for rotations using our straightforward interface. These rules are then enforced when scheduling, but can be overridden by administrators.
Site Agenda
Allow site administrators view previous, current, and future schedules and view the documentation of scheduled students.
Planning schedules has never been easier
Visualize
Visualize the schedule placements for a specific cohort, allowing you to quickly see which students and time periods still need to be scheduled. Assign colors to rotations to make them easy to identify.
Track
Track which schedules have been approved by the clinical site and leave notes that can be referenced later.
Publish
Publish schedules when they are finalized to make them visible to the assigned student and preceptor.
Accumulate
Pull up student, preceptor, and clinical site data without having to leave the interface. Handily view basic contact information at a glance.
Take the grunt work out of scheduling
Preference-Based Scheduling
Automatically place students in schedules based on their preferences for the time period, site, preceptor, and the available capacities.
Path-Based Scheduling
Define the possible rotation paths and capacities, have students set their preferences, and eduSched will automatically place students in the best path.
Student Self-Scheduling
Allow students to schedule themselves in only time periods, rotations, and with clinical sites/preceptors that have available capacity.
Schedule Requests
Allow students to find the preceptor and clinical site they wish to be scheduled with themselves and submit requests to be approved by an administrator.
Optimized Scheduling
Our Optimized Scheduling service is built specifically to help health science education programs schedule rotations with intricate rules. Click here to learn more.
Allow students to share documentation with clinical sites and preceptors they are scheduled with. Allow clinical sites to specify documentation that students need to provide if they are scheduled. Click here to learn more about eKeeper.
Evaluation
Assign evaluations to the published schedules for a specific class and period. Report on completed evaluations and filter by period, student, preceptor, and site. Click here to learn more about eValuate.
Tracking
Streamline the clinical tracking process by automatically populating period, rotation, clinical site, and preceptor in student case logs based on their current schedule. Click here to learn more about eCLAS.
