Altus Suite – Assessments of Non-Cognitive Skills for Selection
All applicants applying to our program are required to complete an online suite of assessments (Altus Suite), to assist with our selection process for the 2023-24 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

Year 1 (Internship)
Your first year of training is considered an Internship within the four-year continuum of education. The American Board of Anesthesiology suggests that the first 12 months be devoted to clinical experience and training in a program other than clinical anesthesia. Acceptable training in this clinical base year includes internal medicine, general surgery or any of the surgical specialties, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, family practice or an approved combination of these specialties.
The department’s internship includes rotations on medical and surgical wards and intensive care units. We emphasize rotations in ICUs that are directed by anesthesiologists as ideal foundational experiences for future anesthesiologists. Residents in their base year also participate in relevant medical subspecialty rotations like cardiology, emergency medicine, ear, nose and throat surgery and pain medicine. Transitioning to the operating room is facilitated by an anesthesia elective during the last month of your base year. During this “first month” of anesthesia, an intense academic and simulation curriculum ensures a smooth transition to training in anesthesiology residency.
The following three years of clinical anesthesiology (CA 1-3) curriculum below consist of experience in basic anesthesia training, subspecialty anesthesia training and advanced anesthesia training.
Year 2 (CA-1)
The curriculum for your second year (CA-1) is one of increasing complexity and challenges, with your training devoted primarily to the fundamental aspects of anesthesiology.
Year 3 (CA-2)
Subspecialty training during your third year (CA-2) provides experience in ambulatory care, cardiothoracic anesthesiology, chronic and acute pain management, critical car, neuro-anesthesiology, obstetric anesthesiology, pediatric anesthesiology, post-anesthesia care and regional anesthesia.
A six-month mentored research elective is available for CA-2 residents.
Year 4 (CA-3)
In your fourth year (CA-3) exposure to subspecialty areas continues and consists of management of the most complex cases. CA-3 residents also hold team leadership roles and spend a substantial amount of time directing and managing anesthesia services in obstetrics, trauma and general operating rooms. Additionally, transition-to-practice rotations at the affiliated UHealth Tower, a University of Miami Hospital and Clinics Facility, ensure residents are prepared for business and practice-management issues.
A six-month mentored research elective is available for CA-3 residents.
