Joshua Kurt Johnson

As a physical therapist researcher, I seek to better understand and improve rehabilitation care delivery using the learning health system framework. This prompts overlap in my work between data science and implementation science. I have the opportunity to use various sources of health data and engage in multiple quantitative and qualitative research methods. My work also lends naturally to partnership with healthcare leaders and clinicians. To facilitate this work, I have several roles at Duke University. In the School of Medicine, I am an Assistant Professor in the Division of Physical Therapy, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, and Department of Population Health Sciences. I am also the Clinical Research Lead for the Duke University Health System Department of Rehabilitation and a member of the Duke Clinical Research Institute. Prior to joining the faculty at Duke, I was the Director of PM&R Outcomes Research at Cleveland Clinic. My PhD training was at the University of Utah. I hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Arcadia University and Bachelors degree in Athletic Training from Brigham Young University.
