Webinar Overview

Interventional Fellows in Training: Gain insights and practical tips from Interventional cardiology experts and recent fellows on navigating the 2025 Interventional Cardiology Match and preparing for what's ahead.

Join ACC's Interventional Cardiology and Fellows in Training (FIT) Member Sections for a dynamic and informative webinar focused on the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Match process. This session will provide essential insights for FITs, program directors and anyone involved in the match process, from the data behind the 2024 cycle to practical tips for the 2025 application season. This webinar is open to cardiovascular FITs considering pursuing interventional cardiology, program directors and coordinators, medical educators and advisors, and anyone interested in the interventional cardiology match process and trends.

We'll kick off with opening remarks and introductions from our moderator and expert panelists, including representatives from the SCAI Match Work Group. This will be followed by a focused presentation of key 2024 match data, comparisons to previous cycles, and early perspectives on future directions such as signaling, interview caps, and the one- vs. two-year program debate. Next, we'll hear firsthand from a recently matched interventional cardiology fellow, who will share their experience, application strategies and timeline recommendations. The evening will conclude with an extended panel discussion and live Q&A featuring leading program directors in the field.

Key Objectives/Learning Outcomes:

1. What 2024 match data tells us about the current landscape.
2. Common challenges and how programs and applicants are adapting.
3. Effective strategies from both the program and applicant perspectives.
4. Insights into what's coming next: interview caps, signaling and more.
