ACC.09 and i2 Summit 2009 offer Fellows in Training unparalleled educational and career opportunities. You’ll have the opportunity to see more, do more and learn more with the most innovative information in the world of clinical cardiology!
Come to Orlando and learn from the best clinicians in the world. Choose from a wide array of educational sessions, guided only by your personal interests and plans for the future. Not only is there programming tailored just for FITs — two Fellows Bootcamps, the FIT Forum and career planning sessions for FITs, just to name a few — there is a wide range of Spotlight sessions, symposia, Meet the Experts sessions, lunchtime case reviews, abstract presentations and poster sessions — all with programming of interest to FITs.
Ground your learning in the fundamentals, then explore the latest in diagnosis and therapy. You’ll find breaking news on scientific advances and new technology, as well as practical approaches to common clinical problems. Listen to debates on the controversies of the day, then cast your vote for the winner. Put your iPod to work sharpening your skills in cardiac auscultation. Try new procedures using hands-on simulated learning techniques.
ACC.09 and i2 Summit focus on you and your professional development. Expand your personal network by getting to know fellow FITs from across the country. Share your experiences with your peers and gain new perspective on all the opportunities cardiology has to offer. Tailor each day to your individual needs.
