Our verdict on Resident Vacation Scheduler
Resident Vacation Scheduler is an iPhone app for U.S. ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs that need to manage vacation allocation. Administrators configure academic years, resident rosters, vacation weeks, staffing caps, and blackout periods. Residents submit ranked preferences, including religious-holiday and international-travel requests, while the app allocates weeks by PGY seniority and provides schedule self-view. Personal-day requests, approvals, manual allocation, multiple academic years, and Apple or Google administrator sign-in are also included.
Pricing follows a freemium model with annual program purchases. The Free plan costs $0 per program per academic year and includes self-service signup with no payment. Starter costs $299, Standard costs $699, and Pro costs $999 per program per academic year; each is purchased through Apple in-app purchase. Institutional costs $3,500 per program per academic year and uses a direct license with vendor contact. The published plans present annual program pricing rather than recurring subscriptions, making the free tier a practical way to begin evaluating the workflow and the paid tiers a way to select a higher-priced program license.
Its strongest fit is a program that wants structured vacation allocation with seniority rules, ranked choices, staffing caps, exceptions, blackout periods, religious-holiday handling, consecutive international-travel weeks, and tracked tiebreaker fairness. The narrow scope is also the main boundary: it does not perform rotation or call scheduling, so programs seeking a broader residency scheduling system should choose another product or pair it with a separate tool. Because access is limited to iOS, teams should also confirm that the platform fits their administrator and resident devices before selecting it.
