FIT Education

Your Proactive, Successful Career-Launch

Join Jim McKenna, MBA, PCC, a renowned physician career coach, for a seminar aimed at third year FITs to gain information essential to intentionally launching  the career they envision.  This is a three part course that will: give participants a deeper sense of how to examine and construct their own individual career path(s), have a better understanding of how to contribute to their positive “brand”, and have a better understanding of what physician engagement means to them personally. 

There are 17 seats to this course and participants are expected to clear their work and personal schedule to be able to join all three session.   This is a first come, first served opportunity.

Dates: March 17, April 7 & May 5

Time: 6:00pm EDT

Location: Zoom


The Maryland Chapter is committed to providing resources, mentoring, network, and educational forums for FITs. See below for what the chapter is currently offering and get involved.  

FIT FORUM

As part of the Mid-Atlantic Capital Cardiology Symposium (MACCS) held at Heart House the weekend prior to Thanksgiving the chapter hosts the FIT Forum. This educational event focuses on non-clinical competencies; things you aren’t going to learn on a daily basis in training. Join other FITs from around the Mid-Atlantic to learn about personal finance, work-life balance, and negotiation among other topics. 
 
JEOPARDY

Everyone loves FIT Jeopardy! The MDACC team competes at the MACCS meeting in two ways: Hopkins and Maryland and the Military Services go head-to-head for a slot at the ACC Annual Scientific Session as the prize. Once that is figured out, Virginia, Delaware and the best of Maryland compete for the MACCS prize. It's a special way to represent.
 
FIT to FACCs: A CELEBRATION

Each spring the Chapter hosts a reception at a local restaurant for all FITs to celebrate the graduation of the third and fourth year FITs and also to let them know that ACC is their cardiovascular home for life. Information is posted on this page about the date as it gets closer.
