December 7, 2017 — The National Lipid Association (NLA) was recently awarded accredited provider status for Joint Accreditation in Inter-professional Continuing Education. Joint Accreditation offers organizations such as the NLA the opportunity to be simultaneously accredited to provide medical, pharmacy, and nursing continuing education through a unified set of accreditation standards. The NLA now joins a growing list of organizations offering joint accreditation including medical societies, health systems, universities, medical education companies, and others.

Led by the efforts of Carl Orringer, MD, FNLA, the National Lipid Association (NLA) has released the updated NLA Self-Assessment Program (NLA-SAP). The new program — now available for purchase — improves on the already existing NLA product that will continue to enhance your clinical knowledge of the core curriculum in clinical lipidology as well as challenge your problem-solving skills in the diagnosis and management of patients with dyslipidemia.

As part of the recent launch of the RADAR Campaign (RADAR: RAre Disease AwaReness), the Foundation of the National Lipid Association has released a digital cookbook featuring recipes geared toward the patient with Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS). The recipes included in the cookbook are low- to no-fat options offering a variety of healthy alternatives that are tasty and flavorsome! In addition to the cookbook, tearsheets and other patient resources were created to help improve the identification and management of rare lipid disorders.
