The field of Clinical Lipidology is growing slowly. Each year new members of the National Lipid Association are approved, and every year some of them choose to pursue training and certification pathways via the ACCL and ABCL. Many of our members have an interest in lipidology, but may spend most of their time in other specialties such as Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Family Practice, Endocrinology, Pediatrics, Ob/GYN or Osteopathy just to name a few.
