Bay Village Medical Student Lands Prestigious Board Position

BAY VILLAGE, OH — Second-year medical student David Johnson has been appointed to the Northeast Ohio Medical University Board of Trustees by Governor John Kasich. His term on the Board will continue through 2020.

“Born and raised in Ohio, I have always been involved in various civic organizations, including Buckeye Boys State and the Cleveland Leadership Center. To me, leaving things better than I found them is something I try to do no matter where I am in life,” said Johnson.

The medical student said he would, as a board member, try to convey the sentiment of the student body whenever it could and should shape the future of the university.

Johnson is a Northeast Ohio resident and graduate of Bay High School. He got his Bachelor of Science at The Ohio State University and his Master of Science from Case Western Reserve University.

While only a second-year medical student, Johnson already serves in several student organizations and health care institutions. He is also currently the chapter president of NEOMED's Phi Delta Epsilon Medical Fraternity.
