Dr. Reem Alsharari

Assistant Professor

Dr. Reem Al Sharari is an Assistant Professor in the Cardiovascular Technology-Echocardiography Department at the College of Applied Medical Sciences, KSAU-HS. Building upon her Bachelor's degree in Radiological Science from King Saud University, she deepened her expertise through a Post Baccalaureate in Cardiovascular Technology at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. Dr. Al Sharari's academic pursuits led her to the United Kingdom, where she earned a Master's degree in Medical Ultrasound (Echocardiography) from Imperial College London, followed by a Ph.D. in Cardiovascular Sciences from the University of Birmingham. Her doctoral research focused on elucidating the relationship between cardiovascular hemodynamic and autonomic function in resistant hypertension and its implications for blood pressure management.

Dr. Al Sharari’s contributions extend beyond academia as she serves as the Chairperson of the Echo Cardiovascular Technology Department.
