He holds a BS in Psychology from Brown University, an MD from Tufts University School of Medicine, and an MPH from Harvard School of Public Health. Prior to his appointment at UMass in September 2012, Dr. Rosen spent nearly 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he worked as an Abdominal and Interventional Radiologist and held leadership positions including Vice Chair for Community Network Services, Medical Director of BeWell Body Scan, and Executive Vice Chair for Radiology.

Under Dr. Rosen's leadership, the Department of Radiology has grown substantially, now including more than 90 radiologists, 40 scientists, several preclinical teaching faculty, and dozens of residents and fellows. The department performs approximately 900,000 imaging studies per year, delivering comprehensive diagnostic and interventional radiology services across the UMass Memorial Health system.
