Candice Johnson MS

Candice Yang Johnson, PhD, joined the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health on June 1, 2020, as faculty in the research unit and the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. She earned a doctorate in epidemiology from Emory University in 2012 and a Master of Science in Epidemiology from the University of Ottawa (Canada) in 2008.

She was looking for a position where she could develop a strong research program in a supportive environment—and she found it here. There’s a real feeling of energy around research in the department. A bonus is the North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research Center, which brings together occupational safety and health researchers and clinicians from Duke, UNC, and N.C. State. She is looking forward to working with members of the department on new and ongoing research projects in occupational, environmental, and reproductive health.
