Zahra Rahemi, PhD (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
Clemson University
Clemson, South Carolina, United States

Zahra Rahemi, Ph.D., RN, is an Assistant Professor at Clemson University, School of Nursing. She has studied older adults from a variety of culturally and ethnically diverse populations, their treatment preferences, end-of-life care planning and decision making, and the health and quality of life of persons with chronic diseases. Her current research interests focus on an interdisciplinary approach to enhance the quality of life and end-of-life care and reduce health disparities in end-of-life care for racially diverse older adults and persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Research is essential for end-of-life care and advance care planning among diverse older adults. Advance care planning is not a culturally accepted norm and practice among many immigrants and diverse populations. Dr. Rahemi’s interest is to find individual, cultural, familial, and environmental factors for enhancing advance care planning among older adults, especially persons with ADRD, using interdisciplinary, innovative, and artificial intelligence (AI)-oriented methods. She is a member of the CU Institute for Engaged Aging (IEA), Center for Research on Health Disparities (CRHD), Clemson University School of Health Research (CUSHR), and Clemson-MUSC AI Hub. She is also a member of the Gerontological Society of America, the Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment (ISTAART), the Southern Gerontological Society (SGS), the Transcultural Nursing Society, and the International Association of Human Caring.
