Dr Bauchner is a professor of pediatrics and public health. He served as the 16th Editor in Chief of JAMA and the JAMA Network between 2011 and 2021. Previously he was vice chairman of academic affairs in the department of pediatrics at BMC/BUSM and assistant dean, alumni affairs and continuing medical education at BUSM and Editor in Chief of the Archives of Disease in Childhood (2003-2011), the official publication of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

At JAMA Dr. Bauchner focused on publishing important and novel research articles, including randomized clinical trials, opinion pieces, and special communications. During his tenure followers on social media increased from ~13,000 to ~1,200,000 with the electronic table of contents distributed to over 1,000,000 individuals each week. In print, via eTOC, and social media, content published in JAMA reached over 1.5M physicians and others worldwide. Views increased from 10M in 2011 to over 100M in 2020. Podcast downloads increased from 300,000 in 2014 to 6M in 2020. Videos were viewed more than 16M times in 2020. The print journals were redesigned, the website updated twice, and all of the original 9 "Archives" journals were renamed, for example Archives of Surgery became JAMA Surgery. 4 new journals were launched, JAMA Oncology (2015), JAMA Cardiology (2016), JAMA Network Open (2018, fully open-access journals), and JAMA Health Forum (2020/2021). Dr. Bauchner conducted over 100 podcasts and live-stream events, and authored over 100 editorials on issues such as open-science (data-sharing, pre-print servers, open-access), conflict of interest, diversity and equity in medicine, interpretation of RCTs, mentoring, scientific misconduct, and numerous health policy issues, including healthcare as a right, waste in medicine, etc.
