Ellen Wiitala, MD (She/Her)

I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - I'm a proud Yooper, eh! After attending college at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), I spent a glorious gap year in Colorado as a medical assistant and ski coach, and returned home for medical school as a part of Michigan State University's Rural Physician Program. EM was an immediate draw for me; I love the fast pace, the diversity of work, and the incredible patients and colleagues that I've worked with in the ED. I'm so excited to continue learning, growing, and exploring at the U!
