Resident Vacation Scheduler schedules vacation weeks for U.S. ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs. Vacation rounds use PGY seniority and check conflicts within each level, while enforcing a program-wide cap on residents off in a week. Religious holiday requests can bypass same-level conflicts; when all overlapping requests are religious, the global cap can also be relaxed. Consecutive vacation weeks requested for international travel stay together. Programs can run multiple academic years in parallel, and residents can view past schedules after the purchase year ends. Administrators sign in with Apple or Google, while residents join with a unique one-time access code. The privacy policy describes HTTPS data transmission, encrypted on-device session-token storage, and no selling or sharing data with advertisers for marketing. The maker says the iOS app is completing App Store review; its iPhone listing requires iOS 15.1 or later. The free plan supports up to 5 residents. One-time purchases cover one GME academic year: Starter costs 299.00 USD for up to 20 residents, Standard costs 699.00 USD for up to 50, Pro costs 999.00 USD for up to 150, and Institutional costs 3500.00 USD for unlimited residents.
