Since her graduation from National College of Natural Medicine in 2002, Rose practiced as a primary care physician at Nature Cures Clinic in Portland, Oregon. Her naturopathic family medical practice  addressed many needs in the areas of oncology, endocrinology, gynecology, pediatrics, physical medicine, gastroenterology, and detoxification.

In addition to having a 10 year primary care practice in Portland, Oregon Dr. Rose and her family just spent three years in Philadelphia.
