My career began at Beth Israel Medical Center/Continuum Health Partners in Manhattan, as a Physician-Scientist at that institution s newly established Institute for Head and Neck and Thyroid Cancer. I developed a basic science research laboratory, collaborating with senior investigators at the NYU School of Dental Medicine. My research was funded through a combination of national society and private foundation career development awards, and resulted in several publications, nationally recognized basic science research in head and neck oncology, and several national presentations and awards. In 2007, I was hired as Chief of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ), in the early years of the (then) North Shore-LIJ Health System and North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute. In this role I helped to establish one of the first fully integrated multidisciplinary oncology programs in our growing health system dedicated to the initial evaluation, care and survivorship of cancer patients, specifically those with head and neck tumors. The Head and Neck Oncology Program at Northwell has now evolved into one of regional as well as national renown, with the ability to deliver sophisticated multidisciplinary surgical and nonsurgical head and neck oncologic care at multiple sites throughout our network. Our clinical team also maintains a close collaboration with leading senior basic science investigators at Northwell's Feinstein Institute, focusing on HPV-associated oropharynx cancer. In 2014, I was appointed Northwell Health Cancer Institute s first Director of Surgical Oncology, and served in this position until early 2019. In the Spring of 2019, I was appointed Director of Operations of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute. In this capacity I serve as the liaison between the Institute, its members, and the various hospitals and outpatient cancer treatment facilities throughout the Northwell network where cancer care is delivered. In 2015, I was appointed Chair of LIJ s Commission on Cancer (CoC) recognized Cancer Committee. In this role I have worked with clinical and administrative colleagues to better integrate the inpatient cancer activities and resources of LIJ and North Shore University Hospital with those of our outpatient Cancer Institute facilities. I am presently involved in defining and solidifying Cancer Institute oversight over inpatient cancer related resources and activities, as well as CoC standards. My clinical leadership and program building accomplishments have been recognized both regionally as well as nationally with an American Cancer Society Doctor of Distinction Award (2017), an American Head and Neck Society Presidential Citation (2017), and a position on the Advanced Training Council of the American Head and Neck Society.

Miriam A. Knoll, MD, joined Northwell Health in 2024 as a radiation oncologist.

She chose cancer care as a specialty in large part because she saw how collaborative that process needs to be for strong patient outcomes.I love working with a radiation oncology team, because that's truly what each patient needs, she says. Each of us contributes expertise and a different perspective, and that adds up to well-rounded care for each patient.At Northwell, Dr. Knoll's main focus is providing palliative radiation treatment. She communicates to patients how effective treatment can be for treating pain, and with far fewer side effects than many might expect. This type of therapy can really make a difference in helping people feel better, no matter where they are in their cancer journey.In addition to direct care, Dr. Knoll has worked to advance the field and to broaden patient knowledge and access by co-founding and serving at CEO of the Jewish Orthodox Women's Medical Association (JOWMA), as well as publishing articles in both academic journals and consumer publications such as JAMA Oncology, IJROBP, Advances in Radiation Oncology, Huffington Post and Forbes.

That means family and friends and other patients, as well as a cancer care medical team.Ultimately, there are aspects of cancer that we can't control, although we step in and do as much as we can, she says. What we can control is offering as much support as possible so patients can draw on their own resilience for treatment. I see my role as being there for each patient on a personal level, while helping advance research and oncology care in a broader way. Dr. Knoll is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma.
