The developmental layer for GME

Sixty seconds in the hallway, on the record.

A program director sees a moment worth teaching. They speak for under a minute — and Sherpa turns it into signed, competency-mapped documentation. The growth memory forgets is finally captured.

The challenge

The good gets forgotten.

Real development happens daily — in a hallway, after a code, mid-rounds. But in today's systems, recording a win is as onerous as recording a concern. So concerns get documented, wins evaporate, and oversight only ever sees the problems.

Concerns get documented

Compliance forces the issue.

Defensibility means the negative is always preserved — and, being negative, it lingers on the record long after the moment has passed.

captured · reliably
Growth gets forgotten

No forcing function.

Too much friction, and nothing that compels it. The wins fade — by the next committee meeting, the good is simply gone.

captured · rarely

Fix the capture once — and both the trainee and the institution win.

What Sherpa is

Stay present. Sherpa documents.

The review becomes a conversation again — not a form. The program director stays in the moment; the write-up takes care of itself. Praise or concern, the same quick flow.

Speak

Speak the moment

Tap and talk for under a minute on any device, before the moment evaporates. No note-taking, no form.

"Samuel showed rare diligence…"
Map

Sherpa maps it

It resolves the subject and the ACGME competency, drafts a third-person report, and reads it against national data.

subject + competency, read as a commendation
Route

Choose where it goes

Evidence now, the committee queue, or both. You review and sign every word before anything is recorded.

evidence now, or the CCC queue — or both

Present-first review

Works mid-conversation, on any device, across six ACGME-mapped review types.

AI performance report

Third-person prose by ACGME domain, ready in seconds — not a 30-minute write-up.

Individualized plans

One-click I-SMART goals and structured remediation, pulled straight from the transcript.

CCC support

Ambient committee capture, milestone ratings, and a print-ready report for every cycle.

Product architecture

It feeds the system you already run.

Sherpa is not a second system to maintain, and it does not replace New Innovations or MedHub. A moment is captured and ratified in Sherpa; the finalized result flows into your system of record.

Captured in the review

Present-first, on any device. Spoken in under a minute — no note-taking.

Ratified by committee

Human-approved, evidence-backed, competency-mapped. You sign every word.

Fed into your RMS

Flows into New Innovations or MedHub. Coordinators stop re-typing.

Capture layer

Voice, on any device

Speech becomes structured observation — subject, competency, and suggested level.

Intelligence layer

ACGME-mapped analysis

Each moment is scored against national milestone data to separate curricular signal from individual.

Record layer

Ratify, then reconcile

The committee ratifies; the signed result reconciles into your existing system of record.

Your official record stays the source of truth. Sherpa reconciles to it — and the connector to your residency management system is built with your programs during the pilot.
Who it's for

One capture. Every constituent served.

The same sixty-second moment answers a different need at every level of the program — from the resident on the floor to the institution's oversight.

The Trainee

Seen, in real time

Growth is recognized the day it happens, not months later — and repair begins the moment a gap appears.

  • Commendations posted to a personal journal
  • Targeted learning assigned on the spot
  • A record that reflects progress, not just problems
The Program Director

Present, not paperwork-bound

Stay in the conversation. The 20–30 minute write-up becomes a signature, and downstream documents grow from the same capture.

  • No note-taking during the review
  • Individualized learning plans and letters
  • A cohort read sorted into what to act on
The DIO & Institution

Signal, not snapshots

Mid-cycle development becomes visible across every program — a live view instead of a twice-a-year milestone snapshot.

  • One card per program, worst-severity color
  • Curricular signal vs. residents to review
  • Trajectory across cycles, institution-wide

Security & privacy

Built for a record that cannot be casual.

Sherpa handles assessments of named physicians in training. The controls below are engineering facts about how the system is built and enforced, not aspirations.

Where data lives

Pinned region, asserted at deploy

Database region and model-processing locations are fixed per environment and recorded as one immutable residency set. A deployment fails if that trio is missing or inconsistent — the check runs in the pipeline, not in a policy document.

Which services may touch it

A vendor sweep that blocks the build

Every cloud service the platform enables must carry a dated, classified entry in a service manifest stamped from the provider's own covered-products list. The estate cannot silently gain a service: continuous integration fails on any gap.

Who can read what

Isolation per institution

Each institution is a separate identity tenant, and every record read is scoped to the institution that owns it. Sessions are server-side; the browser holds an opaque reference over an encrypted connection, restricted to the paths that need it.

What leaves the system

Nothing sensitive on a lock screen

Mobile notifications carry an opaque reference and never clinical content — a phone screen is not a private place. Notifications are also deliberately rare: routine progress does not interrupt anyone's day.

Least privilege

Migrations run without superuser rights

Schema changes execute under a restricted role, so a change that would only succeed with elevated privileges fails in rehearsal rather than in production.

Human ratification

Nothing is filed automatically

Analysis proposes; a person approves. Every assessment that reaches a trainee’s record has been read and signed by a faculty member, and the official system of record remains the source of truth.

Business Associate Agreements and institutional review. A Business Associate Agreement is in place with our cloud provider, and every service the platform enables is drawn from that provider’s BAA-covered list — enforced by the manifest check described above, which fails the build on any gap. Sherpa is designed to operate under a BAA with each partner institution. Security questionnaires, architecture review and pilot-stage due diligence are welcome — write to security@gmesherpa.com.
Privacy policy

What we collect, and why.

Last updated 2 August 2026. This policy covers gmesherpa.com and the Sherpa GME platform, including our mobile applications.

Who we are

The controller of this data

Math Gambit LLC, 835 N Webster St, Naperville, IL 60563, United States. Questions about this policy: privacy@gmesherpa.com.

On behalf of institutions

Most data is not ours to decide about

Assessment records are held for a sponsoring institution under written agreement. The institution decides what is collected, who may see it and how long it is kept; we process it under their instruction and do not use it for our own purposes.

What we collect

Account, assessment and technical data

Names, institutional email addresses and programme roles for people the institution enrols; assessments, learning plans and related notes created by faculty; and technical records — sign-in times, device identifiers used to deliver notifications, and error logs needed to keep the service working.

What we never do

No sale, no advertising, no training on your record

We do not sell personal information and we serve no advertising. Assessment content is not used to train general-purpose models: our model-processing terms exclude submitted content from training, and no assessment leaves the processing region pinned for your institution.

Your rights

Access, correction, deletion

Requests about an assessment record should go to your institution, which controls it. For anything we hold directly, write to privacy@gmesherpa.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Retention and sub-processors

Kept as agreed, processed where stated

Records are retained for the period set in the institutional agreement and deleted or returned at its end. Hosting and model processing run on Google Cloud in a pinned region. A current sub-processor list is available on request.

Questions about this policy should go to privacy@gmesherpa.com. If your institution has a Business Associate Agreement with us, that agreement governs how we handle protected health information and prevails over this page wherever the two differ.
Terms of use

The short version, in plain terms.

Last updated 2 August 2026. Institutional use is governed by the signed agreement between Math Gambit LLC and your organisation; that agreement prevails wherever it differs from this page.

Who may use it

Named users at enrolled institutions

Accounts are issued by an institution to identified faculty, trainees and staff. Credentials are personal and are not to be shared. Sherpa is not offered to the general public and is not for personal medical use.

What it is not

Not a medical device, not clinical advice

Sherpa supports educational assessment of physicians in training. It does not diagnose or treat patients, does not direct clinical care, and its output is a draft for a qualified person to review, edit and sign.

Your content

It stays yours

Assessments and records created in Sherpa belong to the institution that created them. We claim no ownership and use them only to provide the service under the institutional agreement.

Availability

Change and continuity

We maintain the service in good faith and give reasonable notice of material change. Availability commitments, support response times and liability are set by the institutional agreement rather than by this page.

Support

If something is not working.

Every message reaches a person who works on the product. There is no ticket maze.

Users at an enrolled programme

Write to us directly

Account and access

Your programme coordinator first

Accounts are created and removed by your institution. For a password reset or a change of role, start with your programme coordinator; we cannot add or remove users on an institution’s behalf.

Security reports

Tell us privately

Report a suspected vulnerability to security@gmesherpa.com. We will acknowledge receipt, keep you updated, and will not pursue anyone who reports in good faith and does not access data that is not theirs.
