From 1981 to 1983, Dr. Rosenberg was appointed as a “Special Fellow” in the dental service at MSKCC and combined clinical care with teaching and research. His research emphasized the oral complications of chemotherapy, including altered dental development in children treated with chemotherapy for cancer. In 1983, Dr. Rosenberg was appointed to the full-time staff at Memorial Hospital (MSKCC) as an Assistant Attending. He continued on staff at MSKCC until leaving after eleven years to set up a full-time private practice in September 1989.
