News from the National Lipid Association

Lipid Luminations update So far, so good is the word on our NLA-sponsored radio program, Lipid Luminations. Our broadcasts are on XM Radio channel 233, ReachMD. To date, we’ve recorded 7 broadcasts on a range of topics, featuring our thought leaders and spokespersons. Podcasts of past broadcasts are available. To download podcasts, check the upcoming broadcast schedule, or listen in live, click on the ReachMD link on the NLA homepage at www.lipid.org. Our recent programs include:

Complex Lipid Management Self-Assessment Programs (CLM-SAPs) and an additional Self-Study Mondule (SSM):

Lipid Issues in Primary Care Combination Lipid Therapy . . . What Works? The Journal of Clinical Lipidology OTC Supplement Discussion Becoming a Full Time Lipidologist Cardiovascular Effects of Estrogen The ABCs of Preventing Heart Disease

CLM-SAPs provide problem-solving, case-based questions that involve common pharmacological issues faced by lipid specialists. The NLA CLM-SAP series, together with the NLA Self-Study Modules (SSMs), are the main preparatory mechanisms for the certifying examinations in Clinical Lipidology. Each module is CME-certified by the NLA for 5 credit hours and is offered as direct-mail enduring material. All NLA active members, at the time of printing, receive the CLM-SAPs and NLA-SSMs free of charge as a benefit of membership. To order back copies of older editions (2004 –2006) of the CLM-SAP, visit www. proevalinc.com. NLA members receive a significant discount on the fee.

New publications from the NLA One of the great benefits of NLA membership is the educational tools we provide to our members. We are pleased to announce the pending release of two new NLA

CLM-SAP 11: Clinical Applications of Advanced Lipoprotein Testing, Inflammatory Markers and Non-invasive Assessments of Atherosclerosis (Sept. 2007) NLA-SSM: Pharmacology and Safety of Lipid Altering Therapies (Nov. 2007) CLM SAP 12: Management of Low HDL-C (Dec. 2007)
