Welcome, Dr. Tyler Johnson: Stanford oncologist to deliver the Medical Oncology keynote at VISA-IH 2026

Dr. Tyler Johnson

AIH is delighted to welcome Dr. Tyler Johnson, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine (Oncology) at Stanford University School of Medicine, as a keynote speaker in medical oncology at VISA-IH 2026.

Dr. Johnson brings to the Summit the rare combination of a front-line cancer physician, a dedicated educator, and a thoughtful voice on the human side of medicine. At Stanford, he cares for patients with gastrointestinal cancers, including neuroendocrine, colon, and pancreatic cancers. He has served as Assistant Director of the Inpatient Oncology Service since 2016, helped launch the inpatient oncology unit, and directs the Stanford Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program, where his teaching has earned multiple awards.

His influence reaches well beyond the clinic. He serves on the ASCO Education Board and with Stanford Educators-4-CARE, and in 2022 he co-founded The Doctor's Art podcast, which has received national awards for its conversations on meaning and purpose in medicine. He also writes on medicine, ethics, and spirituality.

As artificial intelligence moves into cancer care, few questions matter more than how it can support clinicians while keeping patients at the center. We are honored to have Dr. Johnson lead that conversation, and we warmly invite every participant to join his keynote.
