I'm a Midwest native born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and just completed Med-Peds residency in Rochester, NY. I'm a board game enthusiast and also enjoy photography, electronic design and programming, and cooking. I got married recently and my wife and I enjoy traveling and hiking. We're looking forward to exploring the parks in Michigan and are trying to figure out our next international trip.

Julie Barrett, MD, MPH

I was born and raised in Pinehurst, NC and was very involved in theatre and dance growing up. In undergrad at UNC-Chapel Hill, I majored in International Studies, studied abroad in Argentina, and studied several languages. After college, I lived in Davis, CA for a year where I managed a farm-to-school program and taught cooking and gardening classes in the local schools. I then moved to Washington, DC and got my MPH in Community-Oriented Primary Care from the George Washington University. I attended medical school at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC and did residency in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics at the University of Michigan. I served as the Med-Peds chief resident during my final year of training. Outside of work, you will find me outside - either running, on my bike, or working in my garden. I also enjoy traveling, live music/performances, and spending time with my family, friends, and cats. I am very excited to be staying at Michigan!

I am originally from Albuquerque, NM, recently finished Internal Medicine residency at U-M, and am currently applying to Cardiology fellowship. I am particularly interested in heart failure, geriatrics, and patient-centered care.

Michael Rudy, MD

I completed my undergraduate (2003), medical school (2007), and Internal Medicine residency (2011) training at the University of Michigan. After residency graduation, I took a position as a Surgical Co-Management hospitalist at Stanford University where I was appointed Section Chief in 2017. At Stanford, I studied and published papers in cost analyses for joint replacement patients and authored several review papers on perioperative medical complications. I have been an invited presenter at local and national conferences including Stanford's Orthopedic Grand Rounds, Vizient's national conference, and SHM. I have also been active in quality improvement initiatives focusing on perioperative care.

I come back to U-M with my wife, Dr. Shannon Rudy (UMMS 2014), who is pursuing her Otolaryngology fellowship in Facial Plastics and Reconstructive surgery (again following her across the country). In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, running, skiing, and reading, as well as spending time with my wife and our adorable, but misbehaved rescue pug mix, Maizey.

James Uebel, MD

James Uebel, MD

I was born in the great state of Kentucky - just south of Cincinnati in a small town called Alexandria. I stayed in Kentucky for the first 26 years of my life, first attending the University of Kentucky for undergraduate and then heading to the University of Louisville for medical school. I was fortunate enough to match at the University of Michigan Internal Medicine Residency, where I met some of my closest friends. I thoroughly enjoyed my three years in Ann Arbor, however, I decided to make a move to Nashville. Right before moving, I met my now fiancé, Emily. After a year at Vanderbilt, I decided to come back home. I am passionate about medical student and resident education and how we can make the hospital a more positive learning environment. I also have interests in health care policy. In my free time, I enjoy living life with Emily and trying to tame our wild doggo, Blue. I frequently head back to Kentucky to spend time with my family. While I love the Maize and Blue, my first and truest love will always be the University of Kentucky Wildcats.


Kaitlyn Vitale, MD

Kaitlyn Vitale, MD

I was born and raised in Southeast Michigan before bouncing around the Midwest for school – Notre Dame for undergrad, Michigan State for medical school, and finished up Internal Medicine residency at UofM this past June. To say that football Saturdays are a confusing time for me is an understatement! Currently, I am working the nocturnist job at the VA and applying to fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. My research interests are focused on Post-ICU syndrome and critical care outcomes, with a special interest in the VA patient population. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with family, doing any and all things active (yoga, backpacking, any pick-up sport), and traveling.
