Our Team of Experts

Our bone marrow transplant team includes pediatric physicians -- oncologists, radiologists, and radiation oncologists -- nurse practitioners, registered nurses, nursing assistants, social workers, teachers, child life staff, session and physician office assistants, and other sub-specialists. Members of the team work together to maximize your child's chance of cure.  

Our dedicated team of nurses cares for your child during outpatient visits and inpatient hospital stays. Nurse practitioners work in collaboration with the primary physicians on your child's team to oversee care. This allows our nurses to assess your child's needs, triage symptoms, and if necessary, make referrals to other departments within Memorial Sloan-Kettering.  Nurse practitioners and registered nurses can also help your child and family understand the details of the treatment plan and what to expect throughout the course of treatment.  

Our social workers provide counseling, offer information, and assistance throughout the course of treatment, and can guide and direct you to resources you may need. Child life specialists, teachers, and session and physician office assistants all work together to meet your child's non-clinical needs.
