Leah Rosen
Graduate Student, Narrative Medicine, Columbia University
Leah Rosen was raised in Denver, CO and graduated from Duke University in Durham, NC. At Duke, she created her own interdisciplinary major titled "Illness and Identity" and completed that in conjunction with the standard pre-med curriculum. She would describe the "Illness and Identity" curriculum as a medical humanities approach to patient-centered care--pulling from disciplines including psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, religious studies, and biology. Beyond her courses, she had the opportunity to work as a research assistant in the Duke Eating Disorder Research Lab and Health Humanities Lab. She is excited to pursue a degree in Narrative Medicine at Columbia and then hopefully continue onto medical school.
