Tideswell App

The Tideswell at UCSF AGS Emerging Leaders in Aging Scholar Program is designed for advanced junior or mid-career health professionals with a clear commitment to the field of aging and a leadership role in a clinical, research, education, or policy program focused on advancing the care of older adults.  It is for those seeking to transform the field and lead the next generation of health professionals.  We welcome applications from health professionals including, but not limited to physicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and non-clinicians with evidence of training or experience in aging.  An academic affiliation is not required. 

The program, designed to enhance and leverage existing leadership skills, consists of activities from September to May, with the anticipation that the community of scholars from all cohorts will remain meaningful colleagues throughout their careers. 

Program components: 

  • A three-day workshop in the fall of 2022; date and location TBD
  • Six monthly 1-hour small-group videoconferences with senior advisors and including independent readings and assignments; 
  • Completion of a Leadership Practicum with mentorship from program advisors and a local institution mentor selected by the applicant; 
  • A two-day workshop that includes a presentation of your Practicum to AGS leaders, on May 4 - May 6, 2023, preceding the 2023 AGS Annual Meeting in Long Beach, CA;
  • Visit our website to learn more. 

We are looking for emerging leaders committed to creating communities where ageism, ableism, classism, homophobia, racism, sexism, xenophobia, and other forms of bias and discrimination no longer impact healthcare access, quality, and outcomes for older adults and their caregivers. 

Please forward this to anyone you know who might be interested in learning more or applying for the Emerging Leaders in Aging program.  Reminder, applications are due by January 10, 2022.  For more information about our application process, and to apply now – please visit www.tideswell.ucsf.org/elia-application-process/

We appreciate your help in finding the emerging leaders in our field!
