MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — Dr. Philip J. O’Donnell, a cardiologist with University Cardiovascular Associates in Martinsburg, recently was awarded diplomate status with the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, or ABCL.
The ABCL is a nonprofit certifying organization dedicated to reducing morbidity and mortality from cholesterol disorders and related disease by assessing qualifications and certifying knowledge of professionals in lipid management.
Professionals in lipid management, or “lipidologists,” specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cholesterol disorders known as dyslipidemia, which might cause atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
O’Donnell is one of 600 physicians nationwide to achieve the certification.
To obtain diplomate status with the ABCL, O’Donnell completed a range of continuing medical education requirements and successfully passed a rigorous examination. He has extensive training in cholesterol management, cardiovascular risk assessment and intervention.
This month, O’Donnell and University Cardiovascular Associates will team up with WVU Hospitals-East to launch a new heart disease and stroke-prevention screening program. The first screening date is Feb. 29.
