”I enjoyed my work a lot, and I could’ve progressed in that career. But it would have meant a lot more of managing and engineering technical projects, and I really like to work with people,” Johnson said. “I had slowly been thinking about medicine to work more closely with people, and I essentially just applied.”
After many years of providing services, Johnson found herself finally wanting to provide services to Belizean people along with the U.S. Medical Organization or MEDRETES which worked into the New Horizons Belize 2014 medical readiness training exercises which are a two parties partnership during which Belizean and U.S. partakers can benefit from having to work with each other as they share the fact of knowing in their representative specialties on general medicine, dental and veterinarian practices.
The best practices and lessons learned is by sharing between countries' which medical professional opportunity countries efforts which is the first MEDRETE to Johnson. It is a lot different in medicine, which Johnson enjoys the success to come out and practice medicine. In real comparative in having to train in exercises, where you go through practical's.
