Interviews
While we believe visiting Atrium Health Floyd is the best way to appreciate the supportive culture and comprehensive learning environment of our Family Medicine Residency Program, we recognize the different needs of our applicants.
In an effort to foster inclusivity and to minimize bias, we will offer
only virtual interviews.
Our interviews will take place on Mondays and Fridays with a break over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Interview Virtually: We will offer virtual interview days that will be clearly marked in ERAS as “Virtual Interview Day." Interviews will be conducted through Microsoft Teams with a time for meeting residents the night before the interview.
In-person Open House: We will be offering three (3) in-person open houses throughout the interview season for all interviewees. Open house events will be December 13-14, 2024; January 17-18, 2025; and February 7-8, 2025. We will have an event sign up available during interview season. Hotel costs are covered by the program.
Shadowing: For students invited to interview, we offer opportunities to come and experience a day with a resident on our inpatient service and in our outpatient clinic.
