Michael Erskine, DVM, Dipl. ABVP, of Woodbine, Maryland, who has served as director of Virginia Tech’s Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, in Leesburg, since 2013, was recently named the Jean Ellen Shehan Professor and Director of the center by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors, the college announced Sept. 19.

The Jean Ellen Shehan Professor and Directorship was established in 1996 through a gift to the Virginia Tech Foundation from Jean Ellen Shehan, a lifelong horsewoman of international stature. Shehan chaired the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center advisory board for many years and is a niece of the center’s namesake, the late Marion duPont Scott. She died in 2011 at the age of 88.

Under Erskine’s leadership, the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, which is part of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, has implemented a plan that has strengthened the center’s business operation to meet the clinical service, educational, and research needs at the veterinary college.

He achieved Diplomate certification by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (equine practice) in 1996. Erskine has been a veterinary practitioner and practice owner for more than 25 years and has been a strong supporter of the equine medical center as both a referring clinician and a member of the center’s advisory council
