Dr. Bloom is a professor in the Department of Medicine and a member of the Division of Cardiology at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. She has a secondary appointment as clinical professor in the Department of Medicine, Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

As a specialist in the field of cardio-oncology, Dr. Bloom focuses on early prevention, detection, treatment, and management of the potential cardiac effects of cancer treatments so that patients can safely continue their therapies. She will lead the system-wide program, which unites cardiologists, oncologists, immunologists and researchers from both NYU Langone Heart and NYU Langone's Perlmutter Cancer Center, to coordinate personalized cardiac care designed with our cancer patients in mind. Dr. Bloom and the team also offer specialized treatment to cancer survivors so that their risk of cardiovascular disease can be recognized early and minimized. Dr. Bloom has been a pioneer in the field, publishing in peer-reviewed journals on how to best provide cardio-oncology care.
