The first concerns survivors of jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge, and the other is about an elderly suicidal woman. While at UCSF, Rosen received the Henry F. Albronda Memorial Award, the Academic Senate's Award for Distinction in Teaching, the Kaiser Award for Excellence in Teaching, and was selected to attend the National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar for health professionals.
