Paul Ellis Marik (born March 26, 1958)[1] is an American physician and former professor of medicine. Until his resignation in January 2022, he served as chair of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia, and was also a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. His research interests include sepsis and tissue oxygenation.[2][3] In August 2023 the American Board of Internal Medicine informed Marik his certification was to be revoked for spreading misinformation.[4] The revocation followed in August 2024.[5]
Marik developed the "Marik protocol" (also called the "HAT" protocol), a now discredited treatment for preventing sepsis.[6] He is a co-leader of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which has misleadingly advocated for the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 against the advice of leading health agencies.[6][7][8] Marik has called himself a "status quo destabilizer".[9]
