New York FIT Jeopardy Competition

The New York State Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and the New York Cardiological Society host a friendly, annual FIT Jeopardy Competition (usually in January or February) to determine which three (3) Fellows in Training (FITs) will be sent to the national ACC competition each spring. A stipend is provided.

Any FIT who will be enrolled in a cardiovascular fellowship training or an advanced cardiology sub-specialty training program as of the date of ACC’s Annual Meeting (typically in March) is eligible. (In other words, the FIT must be a Fellow in Training at the time of the nomination from his/her training director and MUST STILL BE a qualified FIT when ACC’s Annual Meeting occurs.)

  • The winners of the New York FIT Jeopardy Competition compete nationally at ACC’s Annual Conference
