Rotation Schedules

You will need to build a rotation schedule before you can build rotations. A rotation schedule acts as a container to hold multiple rotations if necessary. In the example below the Rotation Schedule is "Surgery" and the rotations are obstetrics, ENT, GI, and MSK.

Sample list of rotations in a Surgery rotation schedule

How to create a draft rotation schedule

  • Navigate to Admin > Clinical Experiences.

  • Click the 'Rotation Schedule' tab under the filter card.

  • Click 'New Draft'.

  • Select a curriculum period.

    • The cperiod selected will define the block structures available for rotations created for this rotation schedule.

  • Select one or more courses

    • Note that the courses available to select will be those that have an enrolment for the selected curriculum period.

  • Provide a title (e.g., Neurology Class of 2020) and click 'Confirm'.

  • You will return to the list of rotation schedules and should see your newly created schedule on the list in Draft status. Note that a Courses column displays which course(s) a rotation schedule is affiliated with.

Your next step is to add rotations to this rotation schedule.

Remember to return to this screen later to publish the rotation schedule so that its contents become visible to learners. You might do this after a lottery has run or after all courses have set their schedules.

How to add author permissions to a rotation schedule

A schedule can have multiple authors added to it to give other uses permission to access rotations within that schedule. Note that program coordinators affiliated with a course/program through a course setup page will automatically have access to the schedules affiliated with their program.

  • Navigate to Admin > Clinical Experiences.

  • Click the 'Rotation Schedule' tab under the Clinical Experiences heading.

  • Click on the title of a schedule.

  • Click the pencil icon beside the schedule name to open the edit screen.

  • Existing authors will show as blue under the authors list.

  • Click on the name, or click enter when the name is highlighted, to add the name to the author's list.

  • Click 'Save' when you've added all the required names.
