 In Memoriam
 Bruce C. Gilliland, M.D.
 Professor of Medicine
 Division of Rheumatology
 Professor of Laboratory Medicine
 Adjunct Professor of Microbiology
 American College of Rheumatology Master

 1931 - 2007

   Bruce C. Gilliland, an outstanding teacher, administrator, and physician died on February 17, 2007.  He was born in 1931 in Lima, Peru, while his father was a missionary physician in that country.  He was the oldest of five brothers. He graduated from the Occidental College in California and received his MD degree from the Northwestern University Medical School in 1960.  After his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Washington he started his fellowship in Rheumatology at this institution.  He then transferred to the University of Rochester in New York State to complete his fellowship and to gain additional training in immunology with the late Dr. John Vaughan.  In 1968 he was recruited to the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and the first Head of the Section of Rheumatology at the Veterans Affairs Hospital, affiliated with the University of Washington.
   His career in academic medicine at the University of Washington advanced rapidly.  In 1971 he became the Director of the Clinical Immunology Laboratory in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, and was then promoted first to Associate Professor (1972) then to Professor of Medicine and Laboratory Medicine (1977).  Among his many administrative positions in the School of Medicine, he served as the Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program (1971-1976), Medical Director of the Providence Medical Center (1976-1983), Chief of the Department of Medicine of the Pacific Medical Center (1983-1987), Director of Medical Education at Providence Medical Center (1987-1989), Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs of the School of Medicine (1989-1998), Acting Dean of the School of Medicine (1990), Dean’s Liaison to the University of Washington Medical Alumni Affairs (1991-1995), Acting Director for Continuing Medical Education of the School of Medicine (1992-1995), and Acting Head of the Division of Rheumatology (2001). 
   Dr. Gilliland held a number of positions in the King County Medical Society, including serving as President in 1986 and Managing Editor of the King County Medical Society Bulletin in 1987.  He was active in the Washington State Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation and served as the Chairman of the Board (1992-1994).  He was the President of the Seattle Academy of Internal Medicine in 1993. He was a founding member of the American Board of Laboratory Medicine (1972-1975). 
   Dr Gilliland served on several editorial boards over the years.  He made original contributions to the science of medicine and published chapters to many textbooks, most notably numerous chapters to the ten sequential editions (1974-2005) of the premier textbook Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine. He lectured locally, nationally and internationally. In recognition of his achievements he was elected Master of the American College of Rheumatology, and Master of the American College of Physicians.
   During his career at the University of Washington Dr. Gilliland received numerous awards for his excellence in teaching.  He was involved in teaching of medical students, residents and postdoctoral fellows. He loved to teach at the bedside the art of taking the history, the skills of physical examination, and the rigor of reaching an appropriate diagnosis.  He achieved this with the patient listening to the teaching and the students and residents attentive and at ease. His contributions to teaching will survive in print and the skills he taught to students and residents will be passed on to new generations of students and residents.  The academic community of the School of Medicine will miss Bruce Gilliland. 
   Bruce was a loving husband and father.  With his family he enjoyed the great outdoors of the Northwest.  His wife Maren, his daughters Jean and Anne Marie with their families, his son John, seven grandchildren, and his brothers Keith, Vincent and Victor survive him.
