Background

• Current ACC FIT Jeopardy competition was
  introduced by Gautam Kumar, MD, FACC
• Current FIT Jeopardy competition solicits three
  randomly created FIT teams
• Large annual audience reveals its popularity

Identified areas of need

• Small number of teams (3), limits the number of
  FIT participation
• Random team selection does not engage large
  audience in the success of the team
• Current FIT participation in state/national
  activities highlights research activities,
  potentially excluding a large section of FITs

Goals and Objectives

• Increase FIT engagement and participation in
  state chapter national ACC activities
• Provide an avenue for clinically-oriented FITs to
  showcase their talent at ACC events
• Promote healthy team dynamics
• Promote mentorship for FITs and faculty with
  development of Jeopardy content

Proposed New Jeopardy Competition Format

National ACC Jeopardy Competition

  institution?
• What if my state chapter has multiple training
  institutions?
• What if my state chapter doesnt have an FIT
  council to create questions?
• What if my state chapter has already
  planned/hosted our 2015 annual meeting?

  chapter and national ACC activities
