She received her undergraduate degree from Case Western Reserve University and her medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Dr. Johnson is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Physicians and Surgeons in both General Pediatrics and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. She specializes in pediatric procedural sedation and earned her division national recognition as a center of excellence in the field.
Dr. Johnson is the President and Co-founder of PHYSICIANS FOR PATIENTS, a grassroots physician organization that champions physician-led care and fights against the unsupervised practice of medicine by non-physicians. She is passionate about lowering the cost of medical care for all Americans, making sure every American has access to their choice of affordable medical care, increasing the physician workforce, and ending mandatory Maintenance of Certification (MOC®).
Dr. Johnson is a contributing author of REDUCING COSTAND WASTE IN AMERICAN MEDICINE: A Physician-Led Roadmap to Patient-Centered Medical Care. Many of the ideas proposed in this White Paper have reached the advisors to President Donald J. Trump and have shaped the America First Healthcare Plan.

Contract Diagnostics is a firm 100% dedicated to physician contract reviews. They provide a service that all physician families will need at least one time in their careers – most likely a few additional times as well. I love this company as they’ve helped over 10,000 physicians understand not only what they are signing but what risks they are taking for their family. All contracts are reviewed by an in-house attorney, and presented in a simplified way back to you. Using custom documentation, compensation data, and times outside normal business hours they make it easy for you. Don’t need a contract reviewed? They can even just consult you on the fairness of your current compensation structure or your contract renewal.
All packages are flat priced so you know what you will pay up front – residents and fellows can even make interest free payments over time.
So look them up at doctorpodcastnetwork.com/contractdiagnostics or call 888-574-5526 or info@contractdiagnostics.com
Nicole Johnson’s Prescription for Success:
Number 1: It is impossible to be perfect, so don’t work on your weaknesses, work on your strengths.
Number 2: Always anticipate the worst case scenario. Do what you can to prevent it, but be prepared to manage it if it arrives.
Number 3: Talk to successful people. Learn their prescriptions for success. They all started where you started, and most people are very eager to tell their story, and want to help you succeed.

Notable quotes from Nicole’s Interview:
I think there was this expectation that you were supposed to be this perfect student and know everything. That was a period where I compared myself to other students a lot more, and that was tough.
I couldn’t see myself doing anything else, so I had to figure out how to get through it.
We need to stop whining as doctors. We really do. There are so many things that are wrong. Part of it is our fault, because we just let it go, and we let it happen, because we were busy taking care of patients, and we let other people begin to manage healthcare.
