Dr. Bill Rosen, MD did his undergraduate work primarily at Oregon State University. After a brief stint with the Forest Service, he returned to school in 1984 to obtain his MD degree at St. Louis University. In 1988 he began his residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UC Davis, with a strong interest in neurotrauma and specifically acquired brain injuries. Dr. Rosen began practicing Physiatry in Billings in 1992. In late 2005, he moved his practice to Missoula. In 2008 he started a private clinical practice, specializing in outpatient neurotrauma rehab. For the last two years, his practice has been limited to consultations only and he has been involved in research and teaching at the Neural Injury Center and at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute, in Spokane, Washington. In 2014, he became the first physician in Montana to qualify for the new subspecialty of Brain Injury Medicine. His clinical research interests focus on achieving a better understanding of neurotrauma survivors and improving the physical examination of individuals who have suffered injuries and/or have neurologic dysfunction.
