FCACC FIT Case Event 2024

Timing and Abstract Submission 
Cases may represent work in progress or may have been previously submitted for publication or presentation at a national meeting in 2023.  Further, submissions in this competition are not precluded from submission for future publication or presentation. The competition is part of a regional meeting and, clearly, will not preclude the fellow from submitting the abstract in a future endeavor. Please note: a maximum of two submissions will be considered per first author. If more than two are submitted, only the first two submissions will be reviewed. Submissions must be made electronically via Oxford Abstracts by November 27. Paper and emailed copies will not be accepted.

Eligible Competitors 
All adult and pediatric cardiology fellows are eligible who are enrolled in a training program in Florida, provided they have been a fellow since July 1, 2023. Only first authors, FITs, may present the research.

Abstract Review, Selection and Notification 
Submissions will be reviewed by a Chapter panel of cardiologists. Finalists a will be notified on or after December 15, 2023.
