Our clinical faculty provides individually tailored care for cancer-related distress to patients and caregivers throughout the course of care at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Many of our providers have subspecialty training and certification in consult liaison psychiatry and psycho-oncology.

We are investigators and collaborators, leading innovative research in such areas as:

• symptom control
• delivery of psychotherapy
• health education
• patient communication
• health behavior intervention
• cancer disparities

A large number of our faculty have completed clinical or research fellowships and been involved in training clinician and scientist colleagues in the field of psycho-oncology. In addition, we’re proud to serve as leaders, mentors, and supervisors within clinical and research fellowships and as lecturers for didactics for clinical fellows.
