About Dr. Elizabeth S. Bloom
Dr. Bloom is board certified in Radiation Oncology by the American Board of Radiology and is a full professor specializing in Breast Radiation Oncology at UT MD Anderson. Her research focuses on partial breast irradiation for early-stage breast cancer and advanced radiation treatment planning across all disease stages, with an emphasis on minimizing long-term treatment effects.
She earned both her undergraduate and medical degrees from Northwestern University through the Honors Program in Medical Education. Dr. Bloom completed her residency in Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson in 1995, serving as Chief Resident. Following her United States Air Force scholarship commitment, she returned to MD Anderson to establish the institution’s first radiation oncology satellite clinic in Bellaire, TX.
Throughout her career, Dr. Bloom has held numerous leadership roles that reflect and support MD Anderson’s expansion across the Houston region. Her positions have included Chair of the MDACC Alumni & Faculty Association Steering Committee; Section Chief for Houston Area Locations (HALS) in Radiation Oncology; Center Medical Director for Katy and Memorial City; Deputy Executive Medical Director for HALS; Chair of the Clinical Faculty Review Committee; and Deputy Division Head for Clinical Integration in Radiation Oncology.
Dr. Bloom currently serves as Faculty Co-Director of the MD Anderson Leadership Institute (LI). In this role, she works to enhance faculty engagement in LI programs and initiatives, supporting both individual professional growth and institutional excellence. She serves as a moderator for the Emotional Agility Learning Journey-Wellbeing at Work and participates in Mentoring Engagement Circles and Collaboration Circles. A graduate of the CoachRICE Leadership Coaching Program, she is now part of the team developing a Legacy Coaching Program for the institution and is an executive leadership coach.
Dr. Bloom is a strong advocate for the impact of leadership education on healthcare delivery—both at the systems level and in direct patient care. She also emphasizes the positive influence leadership training can have on the wellbeing and professional fulfillment of its participants when its principles are put into practice.
