Dr. Lindsay Wilson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cHelping people, solving problems, and getting to know people more deeply.\u201d Those are Dr. Lindsay Wilson\u2019s reasons for becoming a doctor. When asked why she chose geriatric medicine, Dr. Wilson says, “I love the relationships I have with my older patients, who often treat me like family. I also love that teaching is a big part of Geriatrics.\u201d On top of that, Dr. Wilson says she enjoys approaching each patient as an individual and figuring out their best plan of care and goals of care.<\/p>\n

After finishing her undergraduate studies at Wake Forest University, she came to UNC-Chapel Hill for medical school. She then stayed in Chapel Hill after completing her MD to do a residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Geriatrics. Dr. Wilson also earned her MPH from Gillings School of Public Health. Currently, she is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Geriatrics at the UNC School of Medicine. On top of that, she\u2019s the director of the Care of the Older Patient Scholarly Concentration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the clinical side, Dr. Wilson\u2019s interests include delirium, healthy aging, and falls prevention. In her teaching role, she enjoys curriculum development. She says her favorite part of teaching is being a part of people\u2019s journeys towards becoming doctors.<\/p>\n

Dr. Wilson also admires those who choose medicine. She says their desire to care for others is inspiring. As an educator, she models that same level of care, something that her students recognize. In fact, last year, the School of Medicine\u2019s senior class selected Dr. Wilson<\/a> for the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award.<\/p>\n
