Biography:
Dr. Mersal Samimi studied psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Los Angeles. She then went on to receive her medical degree to address health disparities in her community. While volunteering abroad, she realized the depth of gender disparities in cardiovascular health and knowledge gaps in the community and how women have been underrepresented in major clinical trials. She became passionate about increasing awareness through research and health education in the differences in presentation, diagnosis, and treatment in women with cardiovascular disease. As she is currently training in the Central Valley, she is passionate about addressing racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular care among women, with a focus on Hispanic and South Asian women.
