Max Rosen Honored with Endowed Chair

Max P. Rosen, MD, MPH, chair and professor of radiology, was named the UMass Memorial Chair in Radiology. Dr. Rosen joined UMass Chan in 2012 from Beth Israel Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. During his tenure as chair, Rosen has nurtured and guided a vibrant, growing department with more than 90 radiologists, 40 scientists, several UMass Chan preclinical teaching faculty, and dozens of residents and fellows.

A special investiture ceremony at UMass Chan Medical School on Wednesday, November 20, celebrated the establishment of eight newly endowed chairs and the esteemed faculty appointed to hold them.

Among them are five new UMass Memorial Health endowed chairs, made possible through the long-standing partnership between UMass Memorial Health and UMass Chan and a $5 million philanthropic gift from UMass Memorial with $2.5 million in matching funds from the University of Massachusetts Foundation.

“Endowed chairs are incredibly important and highly coveted designations that enable us to recruit, retain and recognize the myriad and profoundly impactful contributions of our faculty. It has indeed been inspiring to observe how our strategic focus on expanding the number of endowed faculty positions has resulted in incredible gains for our institution,” said Terence R. Flotte, MD, the Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor, executive deputy chancellor, provost and dean of the T.H. Chan School of Medicine, in his opening remarks.

The new chairs bring UMass Chan’s total named faculty members to 75, including 25 women faculty members. Learn more in UMass Chan News article.
