Physician Vacation Drafts

Give every physician a fair shot at the weeks they want. Load the year's blocks, set the order, and draft — results land on a shared calendar.

What you are dividing

One calendar of blocks. A fair shot at every week.

Practices draft three things. Each one has a guide of its own.

Call and weekend coverage

The shifts nobody volunteers for get divided the same fair way as the ones everybody wants.

How shift drafts work
Hand marking dates on a paper calendar

Holidays and single days

Thanksgiving, the December stretch, the Friday before a long weekend — draft them one day at a time.

Why practices use it

No horse-trading in the hallway.

Partners, associates, and seniority all in one order everybody agreed to first.

Private preferences

Each physician ranks the weeks they want privately — nobody sees anyone else's list.

Order before picks

Seniority, rotation, or a generated order — settled and visible before the first pick.

Everyone can see the result

The finished schedule stays on a shared calendar all year, ready to export.

Settle next year's schedule fairly.

"OnlineDraft was easy to set up and went very quickly once started. Our entire group is extremely pleased with the process and the results." — Dr. Mike B., Carolina Radiology
