Lipid Disorders Training Program Logo
The Lipid Disorders Courses are educational opportunities designed specifically for cardiologists and other physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, and other providers who are interested in learning more about managing various lipid disorders.
 
MINIFELLOWSHIPS

This two-and-a-half-day course features lectures and case discussions of lipid treatment guidelines, diagnosis of various dyslipidemias, dietary and pharmacologic treatments for lipid disorders, factors influencing treatment, and results of recent clinical trials.

A unique feature of the Minifellowship is a one-day demonstration clinic in which course participants see Gladstone Lipid Clinic patients and analyze their treatment.
