Call for vice chair, authors, and a methodology fellow to participate in updating the AACE Algorithm for the Management of Persons with Dyslipidemia.

Submissions open: May 31 - June 14, 2023

AACE is seeking a vice chair, authors, and a methodology fellow to update the 2020 algorithm on the management of persons with dyslipidemia to align with the clinical practice guideline on management of dyslipidemia, which is currently in development. This consensus statement will provide (1) visual guidance in concise graphic algorithms to assist with clinical decision-making of health care professionals in the management of persons with dyslipidemia to improve patient care and (2) a brief narrative to support the visual guidance found in each algorithm.

Applicants should be current AACE members in good standing, active in practice, and able to commit to at least 1 year of development.

Approved task force members will participate in video conferences, submit assignments via email, fulfill ICMJE criteria for authorship, and adhere to the AACE Conflict of Interest Policy.

The vice chair will work with the chair to oversee development of the algorithm from scoping to publication, lead development and consensus meetings with the task force, ensure that the algorithm reflects best practice based on evidence and aligns with the new AACE clinical practice guideline on management of dyslipidemia, and complete the project within assigned timeline for submission to Endocrine Practice.

Authors will provide input on development of graphic algorithms, write evidence-based narrative summaries to support visual guidance for assigned sections, and participate in discussions with the task force to achieve consensus on content.

The methodology fellow will receive authorship for assistance with identification and selection of evidence and development of the algorithm as assigned by the chairs.

• Vice Chair will have publications on the guideline topic within the last 5 years (first or senior author preferred)
