Q&A: Favorite thing about Delaware? We are a state of neighbors where it is really possible to call and speak with our elected and appointed officials and collaborate with like-minded people who want to improve Delaware for everyone.
Timothy Gibbs oversees Delaware Health Force, a public-private partnership between the State of Delaware and the Delaware Academy of Medicine/Delaware Public Health Association. Gibbs oversees staff and contractors for four main programs: a core data and research arm tasked with finding ways to address the immediate educational needs to coordinate and analyze a massive amount of data from the Division of Professional Regulation and others; addressing the educational needs of Delaware’s healthcare workforce through the expansion of graduate medical education for multiple provider types. This advanced education has addressed new and continuing education needs directly impacting health care delivery; expansion of the Delaware Mini Medical School initiative, encouraging youth to explore a career in the health sciences; and maintaining an interest-free loan program for Delaware residents attending Delaware institutions of higher learning who were willing to commit to practice in Delaware after graduation.
