Why I chose Podiatry:

My name is Clayton Gary Johnsen. I was born in Gillette, WY and grew up mostly in central Illinois and Houston, Texas. I went to Brigham Young University for my undergrad, and graduated with my BA in Exercise Science in 2003. I am an avid athlete and enjoy activities including surfing, wakeboarding, ATVing, and competing in triathlons.

I always wanted to go into medicine. I had a friend that was in DO school and he recommended podiatry to me. Once I learned more about it, I felt like it was a good fit.

I chose NYCPM because I wanted a new and different experience. I had never lived on the east coast and I wanted to expand my horizons. In addition, NYCPM has a great clinic reputation, and that was very important to me. I also was accepted under the articulation agreement NYCPM created with BYU. The articulation agreement allowed me to finish my senior year of undergrad while simultaneously completing my first year at NYCPM...
