Clinical Lipidology Subspecialty
Subspecialties are specialty areas not considered primary areas of advanced practice nursing. 棉花糖直播 in all programs can add these subspecialties if they are pursuing any appropriate area of advanced practice nursing.
The Clinical Lipidology subspecialization will allow graduates to provide culturally competent care to patients and families with complex dyslipidemia. 棉花糖直播s will implement the most current evidence based practice in the clinical setting. Advanced practice nurses with clinical lipidology education work within their communities to provide health promotion and disease prevention strategies such as education and screening. 棉花糖直播s who complete this subspecialty will meet the educational requirements to sit for the Clinical Lipid Specialist exam offered by the Accreditation Council for Clinical Lipidology. A practice requirement is also needed to sit for the exam. These requirements should be reviewed.
