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.
