Thereafter, Dr. Blokh did his residency at Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center, and his fellowship at SUNY Stony Brook. Throughout his training, he had the privilege of working alongside some of the world's most notable hematologists-oncologists.
While at LIJ, he worked with the great Dr. Kanti Rai, who founded the Rai criteria for CLL and recently served as President of the American Society of Hematology. Dr. Blokh traveled to the Royal Marsden in London where he worked with Professor Daniel Catovsky, head of leukemia research for the UK and one of Europe's most renowned oncologists.
