In-Training Fellow Examination

The ACC In-Training Exam features over 140 case-based questions and is an opportunity for Fellows and practicing physicians to take an objective assessment of their cardiology knowledge and to understand areas of strength and improvement. The exam allows participants to identify knowledge gaps that may require further learning and provides final reports on scores related to specific cardiology topic areas such as arrythmias, coronary artery disease and heart failure, as well as a study guide for areas of improvement.

This program will be held as a pre-conference opportunity on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

ACC Leadership Development Program

The American College of Cardiology's Leadership Development Program offers a half-day intensive workshop that addresses various skills and knowledge in cardiovascular leadership. The program design provides you with a broad understanding of leadership styles and skills. This program addresses diverse perspectives on critical leadership challenges while also providing an awareness of concepts and techniques relevant to leading effectively within one's own healthcare institution. The ACC often draws upon those who complete this program for future leadership roles within the College.

While strengthening leadership skills is a primary objective of the training course, the program also leverages having international leaders in the same room as an opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices. Led by ACC Vice President, Dr. Dipti Itchhaporia, this interactive discussion allows attendees to provide special insight into their country's healthcare and leadership challenges. The program serves as a platform for emerging leaders in the cardiovascular community to gain a deeper understanding of the varied challenges facing the College's ever-growing international community. By connecting these emerging leaders, the program facilitates the building of professional relationships and creates new opportunities for collaboration that defy geographical distance.
