Altus Suite – assessments of non-cognitive skills for selection
All applicants applying to the Anesthesiology Residency Program at the University of Florida are required to complete an online suite of assessments (Altus Suite), to assist with our selection process for the 2021/22 application cycle.
Altus Suite is a standardized, three-part online assessment of non-cognitive skills, interpersonal characteristics, and personal values and priorities that we believe are important for successful residents of our program. Altus Suite will complement the other tools that we use for applicant review and evaluation. In implementing Altus Suite, we are trying to further enhance fairness and objectivity in our selection process.
Altus Suite consists of:
- Casper: 60-90 minute online, open-response situational judgment test
- Snapshot: 10-minute one-way video interview with standardized questions
- Duet: 15-minute value-alignment assessment
You will register for Altus Suite for CSP-20101 – U.S. Graduate Medical Education
Access www.TakeAltus.com to learn more about the three-part assessment, important dates and requirements, and to create your account. Applicant fees will be waived.
Other Things to Note
Paper applications will not be accepted.
Prior clinical training is not required for our residency program. We consider every application. Our Match Coordinator and Selection Committee will review all applications individually. It is very important for your file to be as complete as possible for their review.
A personal email to interview is sent to you upon acceptance. We interview October through January on selected Thursdays.
Competitive applicants must have outstanding recommendations and academic credentials.
Applicants who have substantial research experience, wish to continue conducting research during residency, and are interested in a career in academic medicine should look into our Gravenstein Scholar Program.
Best wishes as you begin your residency search. We hope to hear from you!
