About Michael Rosen
Primary Academic Title
Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
Background
Dr. Michael Rosen a Human Factors Psychologist and Professor in the Dept. of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with appointments in the Schools of Public Health, and Nursing. He is a principal faculty member in the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, Associate Director for Team Science at the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Director of Research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Simulation Center, and Co-Director of the Applied Master of Science Program in Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Dr. Rosen’s work focuses on how people and technology create safe operations in high-risk industries. He has led a large six-year project to disseminate enhanced recovery after surgery pathways in over 350 hospitals funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). He has led a seven-year project to inform selection processes for the astronaut corps, funded by NASA, and a DARPA funded project to improve methods of measuring team workload and resilience.
Dr. Rosen received his Ph.D. in applied experimental and human factors psychology from the University of Central Florida in 2010 under the mentorship of Eduardo Salas at the Institute for Simulation and Training. Prior to his appointment at Johns Hopkins, he was a research psychologist supporting the Department of Defense Patient Safety Program where he lead and contributed to a variety of patient safety efforts including the development of simulation, measurement and evaluation tools for teamwork training in healthcare.

Michael A. Rosen Lab
- Research in the Michael A. Rosen Lab primarily focuses on patient safety and simulation-based health care training and technology. Recent work provided examples of how human factors experts can collaborate with health care professionals and simulationists (experts in the design and implementation of simulation) to use contemporary simulation to improve health care delivery. Another recent study examined the anesthesia practice at two tertiary care hospitals in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where anesthesia is associated with high mortality rates. We identified gaps in the application of internationally recommended anesthesia practices at both hospitals, likely caused by lack of available resources.
Research Summary
Dr. Rosen’s research focuses on teamwork and patient safety as well as simulation-based training, performance measurement, naturalistic decision making, and quality and safety improvement.
His current research focuses on the development, validation and application of behavioral markers of team performance in a variety of clinical domains, team feedback strategies and the development of methods for using in situ simulation and diagnostic classification models to understand unit safety needs.
