Residency programs run on seven tools that don't talk to each other

Schedules in Amion or a spreadsheet.Duty hours in MedHub.Attestation by email.Continuity clinic tracked manually.Conference attendance on a clipboard.GME finance in an Excel export the CFO's office asks for once a year.The tacit knowledge of how the program actually runs lives in the chief resident's head until they graduate.

Orbit puts the schedule at the center: duty hours, continuity and exposure are read from the week the program already runs.Your system of record keeps what it keeps; nothing is typed twice.

Three capabilities, one schedule

Publish once; every report updates.

⏱️

ACGME duty hour compliance

Real session times, not estimates.Continuous monitoring against the 80-hour rule, 4-week rolling average and 1-in-7 day off.A printable compliance report in one click.

🏥

Continuity clinic tracking

Configure which sessions and sites count.Orbit tracks monthly attendance against target and minimum, with YTD trends by PGY level.

🎯

Training exposure

Program-defined training goals and per-site tags (Mohs, pathology, subspecialty clinic, inpatient).Heat map per resident vs target.Gaps flagged per resident, and HAL lists them when you ask.

Built by a practicing program director

Orbit is built by a practicing department chair and dermatology residency program director.

Every capability on this page exists because an ACGME review, a CFO conversation, a chief-resident handoff, or a site visit made it necessary.

Questions, answered.

How is this different from Amion, Lightning Bolt, or QGenda?

Amion, Lightning Bolt and QGenda are built mainly for call and shift schedules.Orbit is built around residency programs: clinic sessions, continuity, training exposure and duty hours in one place.The full head-to-head is on the compare page.

Can we import our existing schedule?

Yes.Orbit reads spreadsheets, exports from your current tool, and even screenshots.You can set it up yourself, or ask us and we’ll do it with you.

How does the ACGME 80-hour rule actually work in Orbit?

Duty hours are computed from real session start and end times you configure per site, not estimates.The engine tracks rolling 4-week averages per resident, and flags violations and warnings before the schedule launches, including on a fresh draft.Residents attest actual hours daily, with moonlighting captured against the cap.

Does Orbit integrate with MedHub or New Innovations?

Orbit sits upstream of them, not in place of them.The GME finance export produces the location data those systems ask for — CCN mapping and FTE-days per site — in a spreadsheet you can upload directly.

Will it work for our specialty?

Yes; compliance, continuity and training exposure configure to your program.The deepest build today is dermatology; if your specialty needs something Orbit doesn't model yet, tell us when you start a pilot.

What about HIPAA and data security?

Orbit doesn't store patient information — it's a scheduling platform, not an EMR.Names, emails, and schedules are encrypted in transit and at rest with full audit trails.Details are on the security page.

What does it cost, and can we try it first?

Residents, faculty and rotators all sign in free.To try it, start with a 90-day pilot at $250 a month that we set up with you; details on the pricing page.
