Dr. Rosen is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine
in the Department of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine. She has dual appointments in the Division
of Sleep Medicine and the Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical
Care Division. Within the Department of Medicine, she serves
as an Associate Program Director for the internal medicine
residency program. Her primary responsibilities revolve
around directing educational programs for residents in the
Department of Medicine. The residency program at Penn is
one of the nation's best and is regarded by the faculty
as the gem of the department. Within the residency program,
her educational interests are primarily focused around evidence
based practice and critical appraisal of the medical literature.
Recently, Dr. Rosen has further expanded her educational
interests by taking over as the Director of the Clinical
Sleep Fellowship in the Division of Sleep Medicine. Additionally,
she oversees the sleep medicine curriculum for the Pulmonary
and Critical Care Fellowship program which complements her
clinical interests in both general pulmonary and sleep medicine.
Dr. Rosen is very interested in the issues surrounding sleep,
fatigue and housestaff training. She has done several studies
in medical housestaff looking at the effects of sleep deprivation,
including resident call schedules and required duty hours.
She has applied the notion of resident sleepiness, fatigue
and performance to the greater fitness for duty concept
within occupational medicine. Dr. Rosen is collaborating
with colleagues in both the Sleep Medicine and Occupational
Medicine fields to explore sleep-related issues in occupational
medicine.
Her clinical interests include sleep medicine with a specific
interest in sleep cardiovascular diseases associated with
sleep apnea. She is the leader of several niche programs
within the Penn Sleep Center, including sleep apnea in patients
with congestive heart failure as well as sleep disordered
breathing in patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation.
She serves as an attending physician on the inpatient Pulmonary
Consultation Service and Sleep Medicine Consultation Service
at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. In addition
to being a diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine,
the American Board of Internal Medicine currently boards
her in Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, and Critical Care.
