Most health professionals are great at managing their time efficiently. Since you probably won't be able to be everywhere at once, it's particularly important to be able to switch efficiently between your professional and private appointments. This will prevent them from overlapping.

To help you do that, you can import all activities from your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar (via an iCal link) into Rosa.

Consult your private appointments (or those of your family) in Rosa without having to constantly switch between the different interfaces. Private appointments are only visible to you!

You can also prevent patients from making appointments when you are not available through private scheduling.
