The Fellows in Training (FIT) Leadership Council welcomes you to your professional home at ACC! We are excited to have you as part of our community. We recognize the tremendous dedication it took to reach this point in your career and hope to serve as both a resource and a voice for you within the College.

No matter where you are on your fellowship journey, our goal is to provide programming and resources that educate, inform and inspire your career in cardiovascular medicine. The FIT Leadership Council serves as your voice and presence within the College. Through curated in-person programming at national meetings and state or local chapter events, we strive to engage a diverse community of FITs and help you explore the many opportunities ACC has to offer.

  • Participate in the Chief FIT Network (if you are a chief fellow).
  • Apply to join the FIT Leadership Council. Look for the call for applications in Fall 2026.
  • Be an advocate. Attend the yearly ACC Legislative Conference.
  • Attend ACC.27 next year In Houston, TX.Become an FACC. If you are graduating, continue your engagement with the College.

These are just a handful of the many opportunities available to FITs. If you have ideas or would like to get involved, we would love to collaborate with you. Please reach out to us at fellowsintraining@acc.org to share your interests, ideas and feedback.

We look forward to working with you!
