Aurora-Med automates medical residency scheduling across clinical rotations, on-call shifts, and clinic hours. It assigns residents to rotations based on specialty track and residency year, and assignments can be updated as program requirements change. The software distributes on-call shifts to balance coverage and help avoid excessive calls for individual residents. Clinic scheduling accounts for rotation and call commitments to reduce conflicts. Schedulers can simulate scenarios and adjust schedules for rule changes, special requests, staffing shortages, or surges in patient volume, while accounting for staffing and regulatory requirements. Aurora combines artificial intelligence with the judgment and experience of expert human schedulers to handle complex constraints. The maker describes its use at Massachusetts General Hospital across multiple clinical departments and positions the product for residency programs and teaching hospitals. Aurora is available on PCs, Macs, and Linux, with cloud operation or hosting on customer servers. Configurable database import and export for Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, along with an API, support connections to client-controlled systems. Pricing is available on request, and prospective customers can request a free demo.
