The Cardiology Service provides specialized expertise in cardio-oncology and consultative cardiovascular medicine, with an emphasis on the evaluation and management of cardiovascular complications related to cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiation. The Service also provides comprehensive care for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, thromboembolic disorders, and other cardiovascular conditions that impact cancer care. Faculty participate in inpatient consultation services, ambulatory clinics, advanced cardiac imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment planning across Memorial Sloan Kettering's main campus and Regional Care Network.

The Service is supported by state-of-the-art echocardiography, stress testing, electrocardiography, rhythm monitoring, and cardiac device management programs, while maintaining strong collaborative relationships with leading cardiovascular institutions throughout the New York metropolitan area.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of MSK's nationally recognized cardio-oncology program through innovative clinical care, education, and research. The position offers robust opportunities to develop collaborative clinical and translational research initiatives across the Department of Medicine and with partners in Medical Oncology, Hematologic Malignancies, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Critical Care Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Nephrology, Neurology, Radiology, Pathology, and supportive care services.
