The National Lipid Association (NLA) is a non-profit membership association that serves physicians, nurses, pharmacists and dietitians who help manage patients with lipid disorders and cardiovascular disease. The NLA represents more than 2,700 members in the United States and provides continuing medical education for physicians and other healthcare professionals to advance professional development and attain certification in clinical lipidology. The NLA's public health mission is to help reduce deaths related to high cholesterol, and the Association defines "clinical lipidology" as "a multidisciplinary branch of medicine focusing on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and their associated disorders."
