Eric K. Johnson, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine. His work responsibilities balance inpatient care on the Hospitalist and Consult services with supervising as attending on both the Firm and Procedure services.

Accordingly, he is a regular discussant at the weekly CPC (Clinicopathologic Conference), which showcases astute medical diagnosis through a multidisciplinary approach, and he has received multiple Teacher of the Year awards to date. He has also contributed to three consecutive editions of The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics. An additional, albeit more informal passion of his has been following the COVID-19 pandemic since its inception, which has so far yielded several publications in peer-reviewed journals.
