FOR ADVISORS

Keep every applicant you advise on top of their entire cycle.

CycleDoc keeps a student's entire cycle — programs, deadlines, signals, and interviews — in one place instead of a 40-tab spreadsheet. Free for up to 20 programs, no payment information required, and nothing to set up on your end.

Built by a former residency director of medical education and core faculty member who read thousands of applications — so it reflects how applications actually get read.

WHY YOU CAN SHARE THIS WITHOUT WORRY

CycleDoc is an independent organization tool — not advising, essay help, or coaching. It stores logistics only: no PHI, no essays, no application content. Students can export everything as JSON or delete their account any time. It's free for up to 20 programs with no payment information required to start, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AAMC, ERAS®, the NRMP®, ResidencyCAS (operated by Liaison), or the SF Match.

ADVISOR FAQ

Advisor FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes — free for up to 20 programs with no payment information required to start. A one-time $79 Cycle Pass (reg. $129) unlocks unlimited programs and the strategy tools, but nothing is gated behind a subscription and students never need to pay to use the core tracker.

What's the catch for my students' data?

None. CycleDoc stores logistics only — no PHI, no essays, no application content. Students can export everything as JSON or permanently delete their account from Settings at any time.

Do I have to set anything up or sign an agreement?

No. There's no institutional signup and nothing to administer. You just share the link if it's useful.

Is this affiliated with the AAMC, ERAS, ResidencyCAS, or the NRMP?

No. CycleDoc is an independent organization tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AAMC, ERAS®, the NRMP®, ResidencyCAS (operated by Liaison), or the SF Match. It doesn't provide advising, essay help, or coaching.

Who built it?

A former residency director of medical education and core faculty member who read thousands of applications.
