After graduating from UCLA Medical School, Dr. Nadim went to Boston for her internship and residency at the prestigious Beth Israel Hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard University’s School of Medicine. After completing a nephrology fellowship at Brigham and Women’s/Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Dr. Nadim returned to Southern California and currently serves as Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of USC’s Hypertension Center. Dr. Nadim served as the Associate Program Director for the Nephrology Fellowship Program from 2003 – 2006.

Dr. Nadim’s major clinical and research interests concerns the diagnosis and management of resistant hypertension. she is currently one of the National Principal Investigators in the Rheos Pivitol Trial, which is a multicenter clinical trial looking at efficacy and safety of the Rheos system, an implantable baroreflex device, in subjects with resistant hypertension.

Dr. Nadim's clinical areas of expertise:

HYPERTENSION CLINIC

Dr. Nadim is a clinical specialist in hypertension and Director of the USC Hypertension Center. She has been an investigator in several hypertension studies, and her clinical practice has a special emphasis on resistant hypertension.
