Bruce J. Colbert

Bruce Colbert is the Director of Allied Health at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He is a passionate teacher and writer whose main goal is to make the subject material come alive for the students. Having some learning disabilities as a young child forced him to develop creative ways to learn material that he utilizes in his textbooks and DVDs. He may still have some learning disabilities as evidenced by continuing to play competitive basketball after three knee surgeries and now well into his 50's. He feels learning should be engaging, relevant, challenging and even fun. His main writing interests are medically related topics and "softer skills" development such as stress and time management, critical and creative thinking and communication issues.
