6. ŠKOLA LIPIDA – STVARAMO NOVU GENERACIJU LIDERA U LIPIDOLOGIJI

15. – 18. listopada 2026. | Split, Hrvatska

Šesta Škola lipida ponovno okuplja najperspektivnije mlade liječnike i znanstvenike te vodeće svjetske stručnjake iz područja lipidologije, preventivne kardiologije, endokrinologije i metabolizma. Tijekom četiri intenzivna dana sudionici će imati priliku učiti od međunarodno priznatih autora smjernica, istraživača i kliničara koji danas oblikuju budućnost prevencije i liječenja kardiovaskularnih bolesti.

Ovogodišnja Škola bit će izrazito međunarodna. U Splitu će se okupiti 25 odabranih polaznika – 13 iz Hrvatske i 12 iz inozemstva, stvarajući jedinstveno okruženje za razmjenu znanja, iskustava i ideja. Kroz predavanja, interaktivne radionice, prikaze kliničkih slučajeva i rasprave o najnovijim znanstvenim spoznajama, polaznici će steći znanja koja će moći odmah primijeniti u svakodnevnoj kliničkoj praksi.

Škola lipida tijekom godina izrasla je u jednu od najprepoznatljivijih edukacijskih platformi u regiji, a njezini bivši polaznici danas su nositelji razvoja lipidologije, preventivne kardiologije i metaboličke medicine u svojim ustanovama. Cilj Škole nije samo prijenos znanja, već i stvaranje međunarodne mreže stručnjaka koji će oblikovati budućnost skrbi za bolesnike s poremećajima metabolizma lipida i povećanim kardiovaskularnim rizikom.
