Brent K. Hollenbeck, MD
Assistant Professor, Urologic Oncology
 

Dr. Hollenbeck completed both his residency training in urology and his fellowship training in laparoscopic urologic oncology at the University of Michigan. A graduate from the Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. Hollenbeck sought advanced training in clinical research though his pursuit of his Masters of Science in research design and biostatistics from the University of Michigan's School of Public Health.

Dr. Hollenbeck's research interests are squarely focused on understanding the upstream influences and downstream consequences of physician practice style variation. Dr. Hollenbeck is funded by a Mentored Research Scholar Grant from the American Cancer Society. This work uses alternative statistical methods (e.g., instrumental variables analysis) to make inference from observational data. Specifically, the grant examines the implications of physician practice style on outcomes among patient's with superficial bladder cancer. For this proposal, he enjoys additional financial support from the American Urological Association Foundation and Astellas Pharma, U.S. over the next five years.
