Author Biography

Bruce Colbert is the Director of the Allied Health Department at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He holds a master’s degree in health education and administration, has authored nine books and several articles, and has given over 250 invited lectures and workshops at both the regional and national levels. Many of his workshops provide teacher training involving techniques to make the health sciences engaging and relevant to today’s students. In addition, Bruce has presented workshops on developing effective critical and creative thinking, stress and time management, and study skills. He is an avid basketball player, even after three knee surgeries.

Jeff Ankney is the Director of Clinical Education for the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Respiratory Care program, where he is responsible for the development and evaluation of hospital clinical sites. In the past, he has served as a public school teacher, Assistant Director of Cardiopulmonary Services, and Program Coordinator of Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and has been a member of hospital utilization review, hospital policy, strategic planning, and patient safety committees. Jeff is a consultant on hospital management and pulmonary rehabilitation concerns. He was also the recipient of the American Cancer Society Public Education Award. He is a pretty fair fly fisherman and wing shot, although his springer spaniel, Rusty, would probably disagree.

She presents regularly at scientific conferences and has published several articles on crustacean physiology and behavior.
