Dr. Mark Brauner

Dr. Mark Brauner is a board-certified emergency physician with over 20 years of clinical experience in high-acuity emergency departments and trauma centers across the United States and abroad. He holds a dual undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Anthropology with honors from Indiana University, and earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine with honors from Ohio University. He completed his emergency medicine residency at The Ohio State University. Dr. Brauner is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians and has served in leadership roles including the Oregon Board of Directors for ACEP and the State Stroke Care Committee. Beyond his clinical career, Dr. Brauner is a serial medical entrepreneur and inventor who has developed multiple forms of intellectual property in emergency resuscitation technologies and pulmonary drug delivery. He has published in peer-reviewed journals and presented nationally on emergency medicine research. In June 2025, Dr. Brauner volunteered at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, where he directly treated victims of mass casualty events under siege conditions. His frontline experience there, coupled with extensive photographic and testimonial documentation, led him to launch LeahyReviewNow.org, a national campaign urging Congress to enforce the bipartisan Leahy Law and suspend U.S. military aid to units credibly implicated in gross human rights abuses. Dr. Brauner brings to this campaign not only firsthand medical evidence of systemic violations but also a seasoned understanding of the intersection between policy, ethics, and humanitarianism.
