Johnston's research specializations encompass key aspects of clinical education in physiotherapy, such as student learning on clinical placements, management of student underperformance, support mechanisms for students and clinical educators, and innovative models and structures for clinical placements. She also maintains a focus on cardiopulmonary physiotherapy, particularly pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Her scholarly impact is evidenced by extensive publications in reputable journals. Prominent works include 'Navigating the complexities of supervising challenging students in clinical education: perspectives of physiotherapy educators and departmental managers' (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2026), 'An exploration of factors influencing physiotherapists’ involvement in student clinical education' (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2024), 'Delivering introductory physiotherapy clinical placements incorporating simulated learning experiences in rural settings' (Australian Journal of Rural Health, 2021), 'Physiotherapy private practitioners’ opinions regarding interprofessional collaborative practice' (Journal of Interprofessional Care, 2024), and 'Establishing and delivering pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote settings: the opinions, attitudes and concerns of health care professionals' (Australian Journal of Rural Health, 2016). These contributions advance clinical training practices, interprofessional collaboration, and rural healthcare delivery in the field.
