About Dr. Alberto Rafael Ramos:

Doctor Alberto Ramos graduated from the Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine medical school in 2003. He followed that with a residency in neurology in 2007 from Jackson Memorial Hospital and a fellowship in 2008 from UM-JMH. He speaks English and Spanish. In addition to seeing his patients he is also a professor of clinical neurology and the research director of the sleep medicine program. He has been involved in various studies related to sleep patterns and their impact on health in Latino populations since 2010, including the Northern Manhattan Study and the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). The author was also the PI for an ancillary sleep study called Sueño, which aimed to determine the prevalence of abnormal sleep patterns in 2,200 Latinos using actigraphy. This work led to him receiving a mentored research award and conducting a study evaluating sleep apnea, actigraphic sleep duration, and impaired cerebral hemodynamics using transcranial Doppler ultrasound in 98 participants at the Miami field site. His work ultimately resulted in receiving a five-year, $13 million grant from the National Institutes of Aging to study the impact of obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal blood pressure on the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Hispanic/Latino adults.
