Drs. Tim & Maureen Gaul received their Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degrees from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Tim Gaul specializes in addiction medicine, and Dr. Maureen Gaul is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. She practiced pediatrics in multiple hospitals throughout Pennsylvania before transitioning to full-time service in North Macedonia.

In 2016, they were appointed Directors of the U.S. Physician Project in the Republic of North Macedonia, working in partnership with the Medical Chamber, hospital directors, department heads, and clinical chiefs across the country. What began as a six-month-per-year commitment became a full-time calling when they relocated to Skopje in September 2022.

Together, the Gauls manage the logistics and coordination of 15–30 visiting volunteer specialists each year, while also serving as full-time practicing physicians and medical educators within North Macedonia. Their work soon expanded beyond national borders, leading to their current role as Balkans Project Directors, supporting and strengthening medical training and partnerships throughout the region.

Dr. Tim Gaul’s honors include Intern of the Year at Flint Osteopathic Hospital (1986), the Faculty Teaching Award at UPMC McKeesport Family Medicine Residency (2017–2018), and the Excellence in Patient Experience Award (2019). Drs. Tim and Maureen Gaul have been members of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA) since 2015.
