He also had a surgical neurology fellowship at the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Neurologic and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, Surgical Neurology Branch, in Bethesda, Md.
In addition to being director of neurosurgery at Bayshore, Rosenblum serves on the hospital’s emergency and ambulatory care, and operating room committees. He also is director of the neurosurgery divisions at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township; Riverview Medical Center, Red Bank; and Paul Kimball Medical Center, Lakewood. Rosenblum is involved in a variety of organizations dealing with neurosurgery, including the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and its sections on pain, pediatrics, trauma and critical care, and tumors. He also is a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the Society of Neuro-oncology, and is a Fellow in the International College of Surgeons in Neurological Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and the Stroke Council of the American Heart Association.
