 |
Marilynn M. Rosenthal (Ph.D. 1976), adjunct professor of internal medicine and associate director of the Medical School’s Society and Medicine Program for more than a decade, died August 9, 2007, of cancer at the age of 77. She also served as director of the Health Policy Studies program at the U-M-Dearborn.
Rosenthal’s primary research interests focused on comparative health care systems, physician self-regulation, and medical malpractice. She coordinated the Forum on Health Policy since 1994 and was part of the Medical School liberal arts program for premedical students. She had been a visiting scholar, fellow or professor at universities such as Columbia, Dartmouth, Oxford and Harvard.
Rosenthal created the Josh Rosenthal Lecture Series in memory of her son who died in the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. After her son’s death, Rosenthal turned her research toward terrorism and, at the time of her own death, was nearly finished with a book about the terror attack.
