Dr. McCabe is a University of Chicago Medical School alumna and former cardiothoracic surgeon. She shifted her career focus after retiring due to physical health issues in 2015.
With a master’s in health management and policy from the University of Michigan School of Public Health, her expertise now spans physician systems change, impairment and resilience and is deeply influenced by her own personal journey with physical disability that affected her career as a surgeon and her family’s history of addiction.
Dr. McCabe has made notable and significant contributions, including serving on the Illinois State Medical Board’s Impairment Council and chairing the Michigan’s Health Provider Assistance Committee which is the oversight body for the Health Professionals Recovery Program for 25 health professional boards. Her work has impacted policies on stimulants for the FDA and support systems for impaired physicians across six hospitals and within a national healthcare system. She has over 50 peer reviewed publications and her current research efforts focus on trajectories of SUD and ADHD.
Dr. McCabe embraced her passion for mental health, completing her psychiatry residency and addiction psychiatry fellowship at the University of Michigan
