Dr. Sally Rosen is the Director of the Center for Women’s Health Research, Leadership and Advocacy at the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, Temple University. The Center, which she helped to initiate and develop, was established in 2005 to promote the growth and development of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration and to foster excellence in women’s health research at Temple University. Dr. Rosen has long been active in efforts to improve women’s health and to advance career opportunities for women in science and medicine. She assisted in developing and chaired the first Committee on the Status of Women Faculty at Temple University School of Medicine, now a Standing Committee at the School of Medicine. She initiated and helped to plan many professional development programs for faculty, residents, post doctoral research fellows and students, convened the first women’s health task force as a comprehensive review of the medical school curriculum in women’s health education, and assisted in the development of the first interdisciplinary elective in women’s health at the School of Medicine. Dr. Rosen was recently named the first ELAM (Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine) Senior Scholar. ELAM, at Drexel University School of Medicine, is a national program providing executive training and leadership development for women faculty at U.S. and Canadian medical, dental and public health Schools. The Senior Scholar position was created to help advance research and other initiatives aimed at redressing the paucity of women leaders at the topmost levels of U.S. academic health centers. Dr. Rosen’s recent focus at Temple University has been on promoting women’s health interdisciplinary research and on supporting the mentored research career development of junior faculty.
Dr. Rosen earned her B.A. from Wheaton College in Massachusetts, her M.F.S. from the Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and received her M.D. from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1976. She completed her training in Pathology and Cytopatholgy at Temple University Hospital. Dr. Rosen then joined the faculty of Temple University School of Medicine and held the positions of Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
Dr. Rosen was awarded the 1998 Lifetime Achievement Award, the only time the award has been given, by the School of Medicine Student Council “for years of dedicated service to the students of Temple University School of Medicine as Dean, educator, mentor and friend”. In 2002, she received the Women Liaison Officer (WLO) Service Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges, recognizing WLO’s who have fostered at their medical center enduing institutional improvements on behalf of women.
