First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether pharmacy interns, working under supervision, can help people with heart disease lower their cholesterol. About 1,000 adults who are not meeting their LDL cholesterol goals will receive phone counseling from a student pharmacist. The goal is to see if this extra support helps more patients reach their target cholesterol levels over 6 months.
