CallGrid

What CallGrid is

CallGrid is a web-based scheduling platform for medical residency programs that automates call scheduling, rotation management, and shift planning. Its scheduler balances call assignments against configurable call limits, spacing, PGY restrictions, and time-off requests. Administrators can manage rotation blocks, clinical services, and resident assignments across an academic year, then draft, publish, or roll back schedules with version history. Residents can submit call swaps and time-off requests for approval, with approved time off reflected in the schedule. Administrators can import Excel or CSV schedules and download call schedules as PDFs. Email alerts cover schedule changes and pending requests. Google, Microsoft, or Apple accounts can be linked for sign-in when program settings allow those providers. CallGrid is intended for program administrators, chiefs, and residents. There is no free plan, and a 14-day trial is available. Pricing starts at $1/user/mo; the listed plan is $125 a month, billed monthly by active resident count, with a $25/month minimum covering up to 25 residents. Each program is billed separately; institutional pricing is available by contact for five or more programs. Schedule-only admins do not count toward the active resident billing total.

Who it suits

CallGrid suits residency program administrators, chiefs, and residents managing call schedules, rotations, or shifts. Programs should consider its active-resident billing basis and the separate limits on swap requests in Shift mode.
