  1. Engaging Fellows-in-Training:Best Practices John M. Dent Governor, Virginia Chapter David E. Winchester Fellows-in-Training Committee Chair

  2. Background • Interactions between FITs, Fellowship Program Directors, and Chapter leadership is limited • Only 55% of FITs transition into FACC within 3 years post-training completion • The College is eager for members, and FITs are eager for professional mentors

  3. Survey of FITs • A top concern: • FITs are looking for mentors and advice on careers • Another concern: • FITs are unaware who to get in contact with if they want to be involved

  4. What are chapters already doing? • Fund FITs to attend Chapter events • Involve FITs/PDs in Chapter leadership • Appoint to the Council or meeting planning

  5. What are chapters already doing? • Symposia for FITs at Chapter meetings • Research • Legal advice and practice environment • Job Fairs and Career Planning (Medaxiom) • Work/Life balance • Private Practice vs. Academics

  6. Other Ideas • Take the Chapter to the FITs • Sponsor a breakfast or lunch • Chapter leaders come to visit training programs and talk about ACC

  7. How can we improve? • We suggest that each chapter make a goal of trying to do at least one of: • FIT/PD member of Council • Targeted FIT programming at Chapter meeting • ‘Traveling President’ contacts with FITs/PDs
