# Outside rotators

> Visiting residents or rotating staff who affect coverage

Outside [rotators](/reference/rotators) are people from outside your team who appear on the schedule but aren't on your physician roster. For example, family medicine residents rotating in from another program.

The wizard first asks whether you have outside rotators.

## If you don't

Pick **No** and continue. The wizard skips the rest of this step.

## If you do

Pick **Yes**, then tell us about them in two parts.

### Who they are

Upload a CSV or Excel file with their names, ranks, and emails. Or list them in the text box: one per line, in any format that works for you.

Example list:

```
Jane Smith, PGY2, FM, jsmith@hospital.org
Tom Lee, PGY1, FM, tlee@hospital.org
```

### How they fit into the schedule

Describe in plain language how rotators participate. The more detail, the better.

Example:

> FM residents rotate every 4 weeks. They should not be placed on night float and follow a lighter load schedule. Each does one block of Wards per quarter.
