Dr McErlean has over thirty years experience as a veterinary surgeon in both large and small animals. He has worked both as an associate and a practice owner and employer. He originally graduated from Trinity College Dublin Veterinary School in 1978. After three years of working in Ireland he made the move to Western Australia and has been here ever since.

Over the years he has served on various AVA committees, lectured Murdoch University veterinary students and served on the Board.

Shortly, a selection of practice managers will be notified by the Board that Dr McErlean will be contacting them soon to arrange a suitable time for their veterinary hospital or clinic to be inspected.
