Theresa Elko

I have been an oncology physician assistant (PA) since 2015 and began my career with caring for people diagnosed with blood cancers. In early 2017, I joined the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) where I have practiced in both inpatient (hospital) and outpatient (clinic) settings.

Most recently, I have practiced as a Clinical Trials PA where I provide clinical care to patients receiving investigational therapy on clinical trials on the Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapeutics Services. In my role as Manager of Clinical Trials Advanced Practice Providers, I support my team to provide quality patient care and trial management aligned with best practices in ethical and regulatory standards for clinical research. I have a strong interest in strengthening clinical research education for providers and supporting expanded patient access to clinical trials.
