After graduating from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Dr. Gibson entered McGill University to study medicine but interrupted his studies to go to Oxford University (as a demonstrator in physiology), where he received his doctorate. He resumed his medical studies at McGill University, graduating in 1941. ⋯ Following a sabbatical year in Marseille in 1958, he was appointed professor of the history of medicine and science at UBC, a post he held until 1975. His "retirement" has hardly been quiet. He has been chairman of the Universities Council of British Columbia and from 1985 to 1991 chancellor of the University of Victoria.
