Dr. Meluch graduated from St. Ignatius High School and St. Louis University with honors before pursuing his medical degree at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.  There he  completed his medical training, followed by postgraduate studies in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
