He attended Stanford University as an undergraduate, SUNY Downstate for medical school, and completed internal medicine residency at OHSU.

Brian studies the effect of clinical innovations on improving the quality and care for patients with substance use disorders who are medically and socially complex. He is the primary investigator of an evaluation of a novel integrated primary care model of care to improve outcomes for medically and socially complex patient populations with substance use disorder.
His research interests are in health systems improvement, access to substance use treatment, integration of bio-psychosocial factors and social determinants of health in primary care, patient centered healthcare, clinical reasoning, and resident education. This year, he entered into his second year as an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) K12 researcher (PI: Guise) conducting a mixed methods wait-list control evaluation of an ambulatory intensive care unit intervention for high-utilizers at a federally qualified health center. He is also leading an AHRQ led rapid review of interventions to improve retention in medication assisted treatment for patients with opioid use disorder.
