“The population that is served here is similar to the population that I served while a resident in Boston. It gives me the opportunity to bring me back to the foundation of why I do what I do, and is a reality check for me. I also enjoy the wide variety of types of patients in the Detroit area, and love learning about a completely different immigrant population than what I was exposed to in New England. Teaching is so important to me as I get the opportunity to give back what I have gotten from so many other mentors in my life that have given to me. I teach every year at an OB Gyn Board Review course in Columbus Ohio for Ohio State University, and have gotten several resident teaching awards including at SUNY Buffalo Chief Resident Faculty Excellence Award in 2015”, says Dr. Johnson.
