BioDr. Tyler Johnson--a clinical associate professor of medicine and oncology at Stanford University Medical School--is a physician, author, educator, and humanitarian. A medical oncologist, Dr. Johnson sees patients with all types of gastrointestinal malignancies and particularly focuses on patients with neuroendocrine tumors, colon cancer, and pancreas cancer.
Dr. Johnson served for many years as a leader of the Stanford Hospital in-patient oncology services and helped launch the hospital's first direct care inpatient service, med 12. He is also responsible for helping respond to the surge of patients that came with the pandemic and its aftermath.
Dr. Johnson views the practice of medicine largely as an educational endeavor. He directs the Stanford University Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program and spends significant time teaching trainees at levels. To that end, for many years he has taught medical students, residents, and fellows—including hosting them as temporary and longer-term apprentices in his oncology clinic and working with them on the inpatient housestaff oncology service. He emphasizes diversity and inclusion in his mentoring efforts and has worked to promote the professional development of medical trainees across the training spectrum--from undergraduates to oncology fellows.
The winner of multiple Stanford Medicine teaching awards, Dr. Johnson has established himself as a regional and increasingly as a national leader and innovator in the education of oncology fellows, including by developing novel teaching methods that have been presented across the country, including at national meetings. He also works as one of the principal faculty members of the Stanford Educators-4-CARE program.
Dr. Johnson and his co-host, Henry Bair, became concerned about the loss of a shared sense of meaning in the medical profession and, together, have taught multiple classes in the Medical School and, in the spring of 2022, founded The Doctor's Art podcast. Since then, the podcast has become one of the most listened to medical podcasts in the world and has won multiple national awards, making it one of the most lauded and most popular medical podcasts.
Finally, Dr. Johnson is an author with a growing reputation for insightful analysis of the intersection of medicine, ethics, and spirituality. His writings has been featured by Religion News Service, the Salt Lake Tribune, BYU Studies, Dialogue, and The San Jose Mercury News, where he is a regular contributor.
