Program Overview

Since the release of the 2018 Cholesterol Guideline, new lipid-lowering medications have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This program is designed to improve clinicians’ knowledge about the collection of available cholesterol-lowering medications and how to utilize them to narrow the treatment gap and improve outcomes in patients with HeFH and ASCVD.

Target Audience

This educational initiative is designed for specialty physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) interested in the diagnosis and treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
