    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Operations Research

    Background:

    • Medical students face complex schedules with fixed and flexible clinical commitments.
    • Optimizing lecture scheduling is crucial for effective medical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a modeling technique to assist in scheduling medical student lectures.
    • To account for clinical commitments with varying timetable flexibility.

    Main Methods:

    • A conflict model was framed based on the number of clashing commitments.
    • A computer program was developed to generate graphical output of scheduling options.

    Main Results:

    • The model quantifies scheduling conflicts caused by lecture periods.
    • Graphical output visualizes the impact of different scheduling scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model and program can aid decision-makers in optimizing lecture schedules.
    • It allows exploration of rescheduling flexible clinical activities to resolve conflicts.
