Using a popular game-style teaching technique, state ACC chapter teams – made up of three fellows in training (FITs) – will have the opportunity to showcase their clinical knowledge at the inaugural Inter-State FIT Jeopardy Competition at ACC.16. FIT Jeopardy is a friendly competition that promotes a healthy rivalry between state chapter FIT teams, fosters FIT engagement in their local state chapter and provides educational value to the contestants and audience.

Each round of the competition is chaired by Nkechinyere Ijioma, MD, editor-in-chief of the FIT Section Page on ACC.org, and Gautam Kumar, MD, FACC, and includes three to four judges. Over 25 state chapter teams competed in the preliminary rounds, including teams from VA, KY, MD/DC, Canada, FL, CT, LA, NJ, IA, MN, WI, GA, MO, AL, MS, CA, OR, MA, IL, MI, OH, PA, IN, KS, TX, WV, SD. During the semi-final round tomorrow, the seven winning teams from the preliminary rounds will compete to determine who will move on to the final round.

Come cheer on the teams in the ENGAGE@ACC.16 Studio tomorrow, April 3, at 9:45 a.m. CT and 2:15 p.m. CT, and don’t miss the chance to see the winners! Follow @ACCCardioEd on Twitter to get a glimpse of the FIT Jeopardy action and use the hashtag #ACCFITJeopardy to join the conversation!
