Enter the required information for each learner. Please note the following:

  • Data entered for each field must match the data in POWER;
  • Programs not using Base Hospital, Base Site, and Team fields for their learners can leave those fields empty;
  • Rotation Service field is the Rotation Service Code not the Rotation Service Description (Rotation Service Codes can be found via the Rotation Services function);
  • Block field is the Block Description. (Block description can be found via the Rotation Services function).

Once completed, save the file in CSV format.

To upload a file from the Import Rotation Schedule screen, click “Chose File“.  Once you have located the file click “Load File“.
