About Compass

Built by a resident, for residents.

The Problem

Residency is fragmented. Your rotation schedule lives in one portal. EPA progress is in another. Leave balances are tracked on a spreadsheet. Clinical pearls are scattered across apps, notebooks, and sticky notes.

The cognitive load of just keeping track of everything is exhausting. You're already working 60+ hours a week learning medicine. Why should you also have to mentally juggle five different systems?

The Founder's Story

Compass was built during a particularly chaotic block of residency. Between ICU nights, fellowship applications, and trying to remember when vacation requests were due, it became clear that residents needed a unified hub — something designed for our workflow, not administrators' reporting needs.

Most tools in medical education are built for programs to track residents. Compass flips that. It's built for you to track yourself. No surveillance. No judgement. Just calm clarity.

Our Principles

🔒 Privacy First

We never ask for patient data. We never integrate with institutions. Your data is yours alone.

🧘 Calm Over Chaos

Compass is designed to reduce cognitive load, not add features for the sake of it. Every screen should feel peaceful.

👩‍⚕️ Resident-First Design

Built by someone who lives this life. Features are chosen based on what actually helps during training, not what looks good in demos.

📚 Learning Hub

Your notes and learnings persist across rotations, across years. Build institutional knowledge for yourself.

What Compass Is Not

Compass is not an official system of record. It doesn't replace your CBD portal, your institution's leave tracker, or any official reporting tool. It's a personal planning and organization system that helps you make sense of information you already have.

Think of it as a private command center for your training — a place where you can see everything clearly, plan ahead, and never forget an insight.
