Real-time schedules, ACGME compliance, continuity tracking, training exposure, the DIO/GME institutional dashboard, Medicare GME finance exports, cross-department resource sharing, and the chief resident handoff toolkit. One platform, built by a practicing program director.
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. Program DNA — the tacit knowledge of how the program actually runs — lives in the chief resident's head until they graduate.
Orbit replaces that with one integrated stack where the schedule is the data source for compliance, finance, and handoff. No double entry. No reconciliation. No week-of-site-visit scramble.
Everything below is driven by the same weekly schedule. Publish once, feed every surface.
Real session times, not estimates. Continuous monitoring against the 80-hour rule, 4-week rolling average, 6-day max consecutive, 1-in-7 day off. Per-resident violation and warning cards. One-click site visit report.
Compliance deep dive →Configure which sessions and sites count. Orbit auto-scans resident assignments, tracks monthly attendance against target and minimum, and produces YTD trend charts by PGY level. No more manual tally spreadsheets.
Program-defined training goals with priority levels. Per-site tags (Mohs, pathology, subspecialty clinic, inpatient). Heat map per resident vs target. Cohort averages. Gap detection HAL can close automatically.
Cross-program view for DIOs and GME offices. Every program in the institution, rolled up. Compliance grades, attestation rates, training progress, DIO alerts, key-date tracking for site visits and GMEC meetings.
See the dashboard →Medicare direct and indirect GME reimbursement rides on accurate rotation math. Orbit computes FTE counts, rotation splits across sponsor vs. participating sites, and exports the numbers your CFO's office needs for the cost report.
Finance details →The chief resident handoff kit. Unwritten rules, rotation logic, who-pairs-with-whom, the stuff that normally walks out the door every June. Orbit captures it as the program runs so incoming chiefs don't start from zero.
How it works →Institutions with multiple residency programs don't want per-program logins and per-program spreadsheets. They want the roll-up: which programs are on track, which are at risk, which have an accreditation site visit in the next 90 days.
Orbit's Institutional Dashboard sits above the individual programs and aggregates the signals the DIO actually watches for.
Most scheduling tools are single-business-unit. They assume one department, one roster, one schedule. Multi-department institutions live with parallel spreadsheets, no shared roster, and a Slack channel where chairs ask each other — can I borrow Dr. Chen on Tuesday? Can Internal Medicine use Procedure Room 4 next week?
Orbit treats cross-department resource arbitrage as a first-class workflow. The four-layer architecture makes the loan structural, not anecdotal.
No other scheduling tool we've seen treats this as a primitive. Float pools require formal labor models that academic departments don't have. Slack channels are unstructured and unaudited. Orbit makes the workflow structural — and that's the line we draw against single-business-unit tools.
Direct and indirect medical education (DME / IME) payments depend on rotation-site math that's tedious and error-prone when done on spreadsheets. Orbit tracks every rotation at every site, computes FTE allocations across sponsor and participating sites, and produces the numbers the institutional cost report needs.
Supports sponsor and participating-site allocation, PGY-level weighting, inpatient / outpatient splits, and the IRIS and Medicare cost report export formats.
Every June, chief residents graduate. They take with them the unwritten rules: who covers whose late day, which attending wants morning clinic, which rotation has the steepest learning curve, which site you don't send a PGY-1 to solo. Incoming chiefs start from zero.
The six capabilities above work for any ACGME-accredited residency. The scheduling engine, compliance rules, and institutional layer are specialty-agnostic. On top of that, Orbit has a flagship vertical build for dermatology with specialty-specific tooling.
Mohs-aware scheduling, medical / cosmetic / surgical day mix, procedure-type balancing across attendings, and residency integration for academic derm programs.
Explore Dermatology →Full residency stack — ACGME compliance, continuity, training exposure, institutional dashboard, GME finance, Program DNA. Specialty-specific tuning rolling out program by program.
Start Your Program →Orbit is built by a practicing department chair and dermatology residency program director. The features above are not a roadmap — they're how the founder's program runs today.
Every capability on this page exists because an ACGME review, a CFO conversation, a chief-resident handoff, or a site visit made it necessary. This is the software academic medicine should have had a decade ago.
Start free. No credit card. The compliance, continuity, and GME finance surfaces activate the moment you publish your first schedule.
