Interviews
In response to the Association of American Medical College's (AAMC) recommendations for 2022-2023 interview season, our residency program will host virtual interviews only with the option of an in-person open house weekend. All interviews will be conducted virtually with no evaluative in-person activities. In addition to a virtual interview, we welcome interviewees to participate in one of two in-person open house weekends. The open house weekends are not evaluative and will not impact ranking. The open house weekend is for interviewees to experience what Atrium Health Floyd and Rome, Georgia have to offer!
Virtual interviews will take place from October through January, Monday through Friday. Interviews will not be scheduled during the Thanksgiving week or during the Christmas/New Year holidays. Our open houses are available for interviewees who are scheduled for virtual interviews or have had a virtual interview. We hope our interviewees will join us for our open houses! The open house dates are Friday December 9, 2022 – Saturday December 10, 2022, or Friday February 3, 2023– Saturday February 4, 2023.
We look forward to this 2022-2023 interview season!
