He's back!! Dr. Michael Scott will be covering for our hospital next week June 5 - 12 and again from July 18 - 31.
Dr. Scott ia a Board Certified Specialist in Large Animal Surgery (Diplomate ACVS), Board Certified Specialist in Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation (Diplomate ACVSMR – Equine) as well as being an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
He was born and raised on the lower mainland and developed a love of horses and equestrian sport at a young age. Early experiences with the Maple Ridge Pony Club and 3-Day Eventing led to a professional career with horses, first as a trainer and certified riding instructor in England and then as a veterinarian.
Mike graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 1993, and then continued his training to become an equine surgery specialist in 1999. He worked as an equine surgeon at Moore Equine Veterinary Center in Calgary from 1999 to 2016, becoming an owner and partner. In 2012 he completed the certification examinations to be recognized as a specialist in equine sports medicine, the first Canadian vet to do so. In 2016 Dr. Scott joined the veterinary faculty at the University of Calgary, where he currently works as an educator, researcher, and clinician.
He lives on a ranch near Longview, Alberta with his family. His wife Shawna Sapergia is a professional horse trainer, and together they are involved in farming, raising cattle and raising and training reining horses.
We are really happy to welcome Dr. Scott back to PMVS!!
