rPraxis

What rPraxis is

rPraxis is web-based software that builds full-year residency rotation schedules using constraint optimization. A program sets its X+Y pattern, academic-year dates, and cycle length. The scheduling process places continuity-clinic weeks first, assigns core services, then fills remaining blocks with subspecialty and elective rotations. Its scheduling engine uses Google OR-Tools CP-SAT.

Programs can maintain resident records with PGY level, cohort, and continuity group, and import records in bulk by CSV. rPraxis tracks accreditation and specialty-specific graduation requirements along with each resident’s cumulative completion history. Residents use token login to view schedules and submit rotation preferences. Access roles cover superadmins, program directors, APDs, PAs, office managers, and chief residents, with each program using its own isolated SQLite database. The product describes secure authentication and role-based access; Bray Health also describes isolated cloud infrastructure, encryption in transit and at rest, and audit logging for its solutions.

The intended audience is primarily internal medicine residencies of about 25–60 residents, though fellowships and other specialties using block or X+Y schedules are also potential users. rPraxis focuses on full-year academic rotations; call and shift scheduling are outside its focus. Pricing is arranged as a per-program annual license, scoped to the program in a discovery call, with no per-resident fees, seat calculations, or surprise add-ons. It is an independent scheduling solution, not affiliated with, accredited by, or endorsed by an accrediting body.

Who it suits

rPraxis is aimed mainly at mid-size internal medicine residency programs with about 25–60 residents. Fellowships and other specialties organized around block or X+Y schedules may also suit its rotation planning approach.

Limits

The per-program annual license is scoped to the program, with pricing arranged on a discovery call. rPraxis focuses on full-year academic rotation schedules; call and shift scheduling are outside its focus.

Getting started

1. Visit the rPraxis website.
2. Request a demo or book a discovery call.
3. Configure the program’s X+Y pattern, academic-year dates, and cycle length.
4. Add resident records or import them by CSV.
5. Arrange a per-program annual license through the discovery process.
6. Use the web application to manage schedules and resident access.

Verdict

Programs planning full-year residency rotations can consider rPraxis for its scheduling sequence, resident requirement tracking, and program-scoped roles. Programs primarily seeking call or shift scheduling should look elsewhere, since those tasks are outside its stated focus.
