Matthew Rosenstein

Matthew Rosenstein is a second year medical student in the Primary Care Leadership Track at the Duke University School of Medicine, in Durham, North Carolina. A native of Santa Monica, California, Matthew is passionate about medicine narratives, eliminating health disparities in the United States and globally, and integrative medicine. His medical narratives have been published by The Lancet, and the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Prior to medical school, Matthew founded the United States Service Minded Physician Project (servicemindedphysician.org), which was ultimately published in a series of books. The project is the largest-to-date census of U.S. physician leaders on pursuing humanism-in-medicine in the context of health equity, and includes a compilation of leading physicians’ practice narratives. Participants included the Directors of the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control, President of Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Institute of Medicine, and American Medical Association, and the Deans of over a dozen U.S. medical schools.

Matthew discovered a passion for Pediatrics while living and working at a Los Angeles County group home for young adults with Autism, Down’s Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. His dream is to become a primary care pediatrician at a U.S. Federally Qualified Health Center. When not trying to impact the world, Matthew is an avid San Francisco Giants baseball fan, Apple Fanatic, and cherishes long walks along the beach with his parents, and younger brother.
