Our residents and medical students possess a high commitment to integrity and excellence and are an absolute joy to teach.”

In addition to her professorial appointment, Dr. Johnson serves as her department’s director of simulations for residents. As a physician-educator, she specializes in pregnancy care and well-woman exams. Dr. Johnson completed her medical degree and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Missouri.
