This is a great environment to train in and we get exposed to a wide variety of pathologies as a resident and fellow. The abundance of local nature activities and close proximity to the city makes it easy to go on an adventure when we are not bound by work.
	Name: Bassil Said, MBBCh Hometown: Cairo, Egypt Medical School: Cairo University School of Medicine Residency: Rochester General Hospital, Rochester, NY Hobbies/fun facts: Kayaking and woodworking Why Stony Brook: For me a cancer center with highly specialized oncologists and hematologist was a very important character of the fellowship program I want to join. This is something I found in StonyBrook Cancer Center along with a strong malignant hematology and a stem cell transplant program which is my primary clinical interest. The many beaches on long island and being very close to New York City for weekend fun is a big plus about training at Stony Brook without having to live in the city. The program has grown significantly during my time here and I believe will continue to grow even stronger in the coming years.
