About

Placement Pilot

Features
Read full description

Placement Pilot simplifies the work of coordinating learner placements and preceptor schedules. Set up your program, define scheduling requirements, add preceptor availability, and let Placement Pilot build a schedule based on the information and rules you provide. Schedules can then be reviewed and adjusted before they are finalized. Placement Pilot helps coordinators: • Create learner placement schedules automatically • Match scheduling needs with preceptor availability • Define work patterns, orientation periods, and scheduling requirements • Manage learners, preceptors, and placements in one place • Review and adjust schedules before finalizing them • Reduce the repetitive work involved in building placement schedules manually Placement Pilot uses rule-based scheduling rather than artificial intelligence, giving coordinators a predictable way to create schedules while keeping control over the final result.
