FIT Jeopardy: The Classic Game Show With a FIT Twist!
Join ACC Latin America chapter teams – each made up of three Fellows in Training (FITs) – as they test their clinical knowledge during the FIT Jeopardy sessions at for ACC Latin America 2025!
FIT Jeopardy is a friendly competition that promotes a healthy rivalry between ACC international chapters, fosters FIT engagement within the chapters, and provides educational value to the contestants and audience. Participants will be quizzed on a variety of topics ranging from imaging, prevention, and interventional cardiology in an unconventional manner. There will be a panel of judges and chairs to moderate the competition.
Three ACC Latin America chapter teams will compete at for ACC Latin America 2025 and the winning team will compete at the ACC.26 competition in New Orleans, Louisiana in March 2026!
Join leaders in cardiology for an inspiring event that celebrates trailblazers shaping the future of heart health and recognizes the newest Fellows of the ACC for their dedication to advancing cardiovascular care. New Fellows will have the opportunity to see their name in lights, take the ACC oath and be honored for their outstanding achievements.
Convocation is an annual ceremony of celebration, tradition and transition held in conjunction with the ACC's Annual Scientific Session each year—but this time, we're bringing the celebration to you at ACC Latin America 2025.
The best part? You, too, can distinguish yourself as a leader and join a legacy of individuals who have pledged a commitment to excellence in care by becoming a Fellow of the ACC (FACC). Submit your application here by August 1, 2025 for the opportunity to be recognized in Mexico City!
