TapAttend replaces sign-in sheets and spreadsheets for tracking resident attendance at GME conferences. Coordinators tap a resident's NFC badge at the door — or check them in manually — and TapAttend records it instantly. Attendance percentages, ACGME compliance thresholds, and moonlighting eligibility are calculated automatically, per resident, per academic year. FOR COORDINATORS • Tap an NFC badge to check a resident in — no app needed on the resident's side • Manual check-in always available as a fallback, no hardware required • Create one-off or weekly-recurring conferences in seconds • See live attendance counts as residents check in • Cross-department coverage: help staff a shared conference outside your own program FOR PROGRAM DIRECTORS • Dashboard view of attendance trends and at-risk residents across the program • Automatic ACGME percentage tracking against your program's own thresholds • Full attendance history, exportable for compliance review FOR RESIDENTS • A self-service portal to check your own attendance and standing at a glance TapAttend is built specifically for graduate medical education — the academic-year math, attendance categories (present, tardy, left early, excused/unexcused absence), and compliance thresholds all match how GME programs actually track this today. Your program's data stays your program's data. Institution and program boundaries are enforced at the database level — coordinators and program directors only ever see their own residents.
