r. Monica Woll Rosen didn’t always 
have her eyes set on becoming a 
physician, but she knew she wanted 
to pursue a career that would ultimately 
give back to the community.
First, she tried following a path in con-
temporary history, but later pivoted to the 
medical field.
“I know it sounds cliche,
” she explains, 
“but I wanted to do something that would 
help people, and I specifically wanted to 
work in women’s health.
”
Now an assistant professor of obstet-
rics and gynecology at the University of 
Michigan Medical School, where she com-
pleted her residency in 2017, Rosen special-
izes in pediatric and adolescent gynecology.
It’s a difficult job, she says, but one that’s 

highly rewarding. Her practice includes 
general OBGYN, but she also specializes in 
adolescents with gynecologic concerns such 
as those with abnormal periods or endome-
triosis.
“Being with women in both their happi-
est and saddest moments is incredibly hum-
bling,
” Rosen describes. “Being with women 
when they deliver babies, experiencing the 
joy that they have with them … but also 
being there for teenagers as they navigate 
surgery for a large pelvic mass is rewarding 
in a different way.
”
Growing up in West Bloomfield, Rosen 
received her medical degree from the 
University of Wisconsin, later moving to 
Ann Arbor to pursue her residency and 
fellowship, where she has remained since. 

From healthcare to Jewish programming, Dr. Monica Woll Rosen 
 is an important part of the community.
