Dr. Gilliam (2nd from L), UNC Division of Geriatric Medicine Chief Dr. Jan Busby-Whitehead (3rd from L), and other Tideswell Scholars at AGS 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the American Geriatric Society’s annual meeting in Chicago last month, Dr. Meredith Gilliam<\/a> attended the 10 years of Tideswell Emerging Leaders in Aging <\/em>Celebration. The intimate gathering brought together Tideswell alumni<\/a> from all over the nation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gilliam is an Assistant Professor of Medicine, the Medical Director of the UNC Geriatrics Clinic<\/a>, and a 2024-2025 Tideswell UCSF Scholar. She says, “It was an honor to be accepted into the program. I was able to network with other early\/mid-career aging specialists around the country, and get professional guidance from senior leaders in our field.”<\/p>\n

The Tideswell UCSF Scholar program<\/a> places scholars in small groups for mentoring by advisors with expertise in both geriatrics and leadership. During the program scholars focus on opportunities and challenges at their organizations. Then, they brainstorm potential solutions which align with their organizations\u2019 goals and priorities.<\/p>\n

In addition, Dr. Gilliam says, “The curriculum included valuable lessons around leadership styles, financial literacy, public speaking and communication in times of conflict. It has been helping me as I’ve transitioned into my new role as Vice Chief for Clinical Operations for Geriatrics.”<\/p>\n
