Mentorship Focus
Dr. Johnson is especially interested in supporting trainees exploring pediatrics, emergency medicine, and academic careers who benefit from clear guidance, honest encouragement, and visible role models.
That includes mentorship for women in medicine and for trainees from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine who are navigating high-stakes training environments.
Educational interests also include helping generalist clinicians and junior trainees strengthen pediatric emergency skills in a way that feels structured, approachable, and durable.
