Dr. Rotenstein is a primary care physician, researcher and healthcare leader whose work focuses on ambulatory care delivery, the physician workforce, and the intersection of the electronic health record with these issues.
She is an Assistant Professor and Medical Director of Ambulatory Quality and Safety at UCSF Health.

Dr. Rotenstein's research on the electronic health record (EHR), published in JAMA Internal Medicine, JAMA Network Open, JAMIA, and more, has deepened our understanding of the role of the EHR in influencing the physician experience, as well as how novel technologies such as virtual and AI scribes can shape physician workflows. Her scholarship on the physician workforce, published in JAMA, JAMA Internal Medicine, JAMA Health Forum, and the Journal of General Internal Medicine has fostered increased awareness of the epidemic of physician burnout, its predictors, and potential solutions. Finally, she is a nationally recognized expert on primary care delivery and trends, with her research and writing on this topic featured in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Harvard Business Review, and JAMA Internal Medicine.
