For clerkship and elective directors

Give every rotator the same preparation, without another faculty lecture.

Every block starts the same way: students arrive not knowing the room, faculty re-teach the same basics, and preparation varies student to student. Rotation Ready is a standardized pre-rotation layer - a physician-authored orientation, about 40 minutes in total, that students complete before day one, with the completion and confidence data flowing back to you. It supplements your teaching; it does not replace it.

How it works
Step 1

License the program

One license, $5,000 a year, unlimited students at your school. Everything included; nothing else to buy.

Step 2

Send students one link

It goes in your rotation welcome email. Students identify themselves by email - no accounts, no passwords, no LMS work on your side.

Step 3

Receive the orientation record

Completion, quiz results, and pre/post confidence for the cohort, visible in your dashboard and exportable as CSV.

What your program receives

Everything in one license. Nothing to build.

Nine physician-created modules

About 40 minutes total, captioned, written and narrated by a practicing cardiac anesthesiologist and reviewed annually.

Handouts and knowledge checks

A one-page handout per module and a short quiz with explanations after each.

Completion dashboard

See who finished, quiz results, and per-module watch-through for your cohort.

Pre/post confidence measurement

Your own students, measured before and after - a clean delta for curriculum reviews.

Certificates of completion

Issued per student, verifiable by code.

CSV exports

Export cohort data as CSV for your program's records and curriculum-review needs.

Faculty & Clerkship Guide

A one-page integration playbook with per-module discussion prompts.

No LMS integration

One link in your welcome email. No software installation or LMS integration required - and we provide documentation for your institution's privacy or vendor review.

Pricing

One price. Everything included.

How licensing works

Say yes, send one link, receive the record.

A license runs twelve months from the day your students get the link. It includes onboarding, the dashboard, and an outcomes summary at the end of each rotating block if you want one. In exchange we ask only for honest feedback and a short testimonial if the course earns it.

  • Timeline: live for your students within a week of saying yes - there is nothing to install.
  • Renewal: the license renews each year, so your students never lose access between blocks. We send a reminder and the renewal invoice 60 days ahead, and the price only changes with 90 days' notice. To stop, tell us 30 days before the term ends and you leave with your data.
  • Student data: students enter their own email; we hold completion, quiz, and survey data only - no PHI, ever. Your program receives its own students' records, and our privacy policy and terms are public. For your privacy or vendor review, our institutional data sheet covers collection, retention, deletion, and subprocessors on one page.

I looked for stuff like this for hours online and nothing is as concise and well put together as this.

Most anxiety comes from the little things, like what to bring and where to stand.

It helps give an idea of what to expect, ask about, and pay attention to.

Before my anesthesia elective I had tried to read a resident-level document to prepare for the experience, but most of it was too in-depth to be relevant for a medical student elective.

Built around the questions students repeatedly ask before and during their anesthesia rotations. Every module is clinically reviewed and updated annually. It is orientation, not clinical training: no drug doses, no procedural instruction, and every module tells students to follow your policies and your supervising clinicians.
