THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAS PLACED KETAMINE
ON THEIR ESSENTIAL MEDICINES LIST
Dr. David Rosen
Dr. Rosen is the most experienced Ketamine provider in New Mexico. Since 2016, he has performed more than 2, 000 ketamine infusions for treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, and chronic pain. As a full time Emergency Medicine Doctor at Christus St. Vincent’s Regional Medical Center., Dr. Rosen uses ketamine every day in his busy hospital practice as well.
At Blue Sky Ketamine, we try to minimize the “medicalization” of the ketamine treatment session. Infusions are performed in our own private clinic. Because Ketamine is an anesthetic, a physician is always present during your entire treatment session to monitor your rate and depth of respiration. For patients with significant underlying medical conditions, additional monitoring equipment is available to continuously monitor a client’s heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen level.
Dr. David Rosen has been practicing Emergency Medicine in New Mexico since 2007. Prior to that, he served as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Emergency Medicine at Drexel University School of Medicine/Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia. Dr. Rosen received his Medical Degree at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and his board certification from the American Board of Emergency Medicine in 1999. He has been a member of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine since 2000.

Dr. Rosen has been treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and chronic pain in his clinical practice for over 20 years. As the current Chair of the Pharmacy Committee at Christus St. Vincent’s Regional Medical Center (CSVRMC), he developed a protocol for the use of ketamine to treat pain in the emergency setting. Dr. Rosen is currently drafting a protocol for the use of ketamine for acutely suicidal patients at CSVRMC. When approved, CSVRMC will be one of the first hospitals in the country with such a protocol.
Dr. Rosen is committed to improving the health of his community. Since arriving to New Mexico in 2008, he has served as the Director of the CSVRMC Emergency Department, the Medical Director for the Santa Fe County Fire Department, the Careflight 5 Aeromedical Service and was the Interim Medical Director for the Los Alamos Fire Department. He served as a member of the New Mexico State Stroke Advisory Committee from 2008-2010. Currently, Dr. Rosen is the Medical Director of the Emergency Medicine Services Institute at the Santa Fe Community College – a premier training facility for Medics and Paramedics in Northern New Mexico. In 2018, he created a non-profit, New Mexico Alive, with the mission to improve regional out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates.
Dr. Rosen served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa in the 1980’s, then worked for the US State Department in Emergency and Disaster Relief Operations. He completed duel Master’s degree program at Columbia University’s School of Public Heath and School of International and Public Affairs. Dr. Rosen worked in over 25 developing countries in areas related to Disaster Relief, Economic Development, Nutrition, and Child Survival with USA for Africa, UNICEF, WHO, Helen Keller International, and most recently, the International Rescue Committee in Eastern Congo. Dr. Rosen is also a Certified Physician Acupuncturist and has been teaching/practicing acupuncture as part of his emergency medicine practice since that time.

Yiwen Jiang
Yiwen (pronounced even, like odd and even) moved from Shanghai, China to the US in 2000 to pursue a career in business and computer science. Her undergraduate degree was in Food Science – with an emphasis on fermentation. Her design for a distillery was implemented as one of the first early breweries in China. Yiwen completed her Master’s Degree in Computer Science at St. Johns University in Philadelphia. Prior to moving to Santa Fe, Yiwen worked for the National Board of Medical Examiners. In Philadelphia, she met Dr. Rosen at a local dog park. Three months later, both Yiwen and Dr. Rosen packed their belongings (including two Yorkies and houseplants) into their Jeep Cherokee and moved to Santa Fe. Yiwen was the Practice Administrator at the Santa Fe Ketamine Clinic before establishing Blue Sky Ketamine. Since 2016, Yiwen has been working tirelessly to raise grant money to help offset the cost of treatment for our clients without the ability to pay for the full cost of treatment. This past year, Yiwen established the Blue Skye Foundation, dedicated to supporting the work of the Blue Sky Ketamine Clinic.
When she is not working to schedule/support our clients, Yiwen enjoys hiking, eating, and doting on her dogs, Maestro and Skye.
