Preven, to present compassionate and realistic portraits of patients for teaching medical students about the subjective experience of illness. He maintains a private practice[4] specializing in addiction medicine in Manhattan.[5]

Rosenberg's first film for a non-professional audience, An Alzheimer's Story (1984), was directed and produced with veteran cinema verité editor Ruth Neuwald Falcon, praised in a review in The New England Journal of Medicine and shown on PBS. During his fellowship, a Cornell-based foundation started by Dr. Alan Manevitz, supported Rosenberg's fellowship in the Public Health and Psychiatry Departments at Cornell Medical College while he directed and produced his first film on serious mental illness, Through Madness (1992), which won a New York Emmy for Outstanding Documentary Programming.[6] While developing his medical practice in addiction psychiatry, Rosenberg directed films for HBO — the Oscar Documentary Feature Shortlist film Why Am I Gay?: Stories of Coming Out in America (1994),[7] co-produced with Lisa F. Jackson, Back from Madness (1996),[8] and Drinking Apart (2000)[9] — and won a Peabody Award[10] as executive producer with Sheila Nevins for an HBO special on cancer treatment, Cancer: Evolution to Revolution (2000).[11] His most recent film, Bedlam (2019), produced with Peter Miller, was shown at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.[citation needed]
