Standard Form is scheduling software for residency and physician programs. You define your schedule (block-based rotations or shift/call), add your team, blocks, coverage needs, and rules — and the system generates the assignments for you.

​
Who it’s for

  • Chief residents — Build and manage schedules.
  • Administrators — Set up the organization, invite the team, and manage settings.
  • Program directors — Oversight and understanding how schedules work.

Key concepts (in plain language)

TermWhat it means
ScheduleThe overall plan (e.g. academic year) with a start and end date.
BlockA rotation or activity you’re scheduling (e.g. Wards, Clinic, Nights, Leave).
PeoplePhysicians or residents on the schedule, with rank (e.g. PGY1–4).
CoverageHow many people must be on a block at any time.
MandateHow many times each person must do a block (e.g. “each resident does Wards at least 2 times”).
RulesPlain-language constraints (e.g. “no more than 3 nights in a row”, “spread weekends fairly”).
LeaveTime off; people can submit leave preferences and the system avoids assigning them then.
Block schedules assign people to full rotations (e.g. “Week 1–4: Wards”). Shift or call schedules assign people to specific shifts (e.g. “Monday 7a–7p”). You can create both; see Creating Block Schedules and Create Shift Schedules.
