Before Your Interview
Chosen applicants will be contacted via Thalamus. Available dates will be provided to you via Thalamus. Please call us if you have any difficulties at (814) 889-2020.
Prior to your scheduled interview, be sure to check your mailbox for additional information from our team.
Prior to your interview, you will have the option of attending a virtual social hour for informal conversation and questions with some of our residents. This is not required but encouraged to learn more about our program from the current residents.
Your Interview Day
Your interview day will be completely virtual via Zoom. We will send you the agenda and link prior to your interview day. The day will be a half-day of information, conversation, and fun. Our goal is to get to know you, but more importantly, for you to get to know us and everything that makes AFP great! Your interview day will last approximately three hours. A sample agenda would be:
- Virtual introductory presentation
- 20-minute interviews with faculty and residents
- Virtual hospital and office tour
- Wrap-Up
A Second Look at AFP- "The AFP Experience"
We welcome selected applicants who have scheduled an interview to consider an in-person visit at AFP. While a virtual interview is great, we truly feel the best way to get to know AFP and the Altoona area is by visiting. Applicants will discover what makes AFP and Altoona such a great place to live and learn. In addition, you will experience the strong culture and camaraderie we have built.
A typical AFP Experience will include
- Tour of the AFP office
- Tour of UPMC Altoona
- Meeting with residents and faculty
- Self-paced community tour
- Optional breakfast or dinner with the residents
Hotel accommodations can be provided for those who need it. We recommend you schedule your AFP Experience after your virtual interview, but we will be flexible and try to accommodate your schedule. Please let us know if you are bringing any significant others or family members along so we can make sure they have a great time too!
