Charles Welsh began his Anatomy & Physiology teaching career upon
graduating with a B.S. in Biology from the University of Pittsburgh
in 1989. He entered graduate school in 1992 and continued teaching
night classes. He accepted his first full-time teaching position at
Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 1996. In 1997, he completed
his Ph.D. in Comparative Anatomy, Evolutionary Biology, and
Ornithology at the University of Pittsburgh. Teaching primarily in
nursing and other allied health programs, he now brings his thirty
years of classroom experience to the fifteenth edition of Holes
Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology. At Duquesne University in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania he received several teaching awards, as
well as the Mentor of the Year Award for training graduate students
to teach Anatomy & Physiology. Chuck and his wife, Lori, have three
children and three grandchildren. They live in the historic town of
Harmony, thirty miles north of Pittsburgh, with their youngest son,
where they raise chickens and have a huge garden.
