During his presentation, Dr. El Ouweini discussed on how to evaluate any patient’s 10-years ASCVD risk, design an appropriate therapeutic goal, pharmacotherapy regimen and monitoring plan.
Dr. El Ouweini’s contribution was part of GMU’s College of Pharmacy’s partnership with IVPN to a joint program with Abbott on: Dyslipidemia Adherence Master Class for Pharmacist
The program aims to educate the pharmacists, working in different healthcare settings, about the knowledge and tools needed to optimize the care they provide for patients with dyslipidemia.
