Frank Andrews has been named as the new director of the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. He joined the faculty on August 1.
Andrews, DVM, MS, DACVIM, was previously with the University Of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where he was professor and section chief of large animal medicine. He earned his DVM and MS degrees from Washington State University and completed his residency at The Ohio State University.
He has received many awards and honours and has served on numerous boards and in societies such as the Comparative Gastroenterology Society (past president), Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) Society (current president), Medical Advisory Board to the Knoxville Zoological Park, and Equine Advisory Council with Astra-Zeneca, Merial and Intervet, Inc. He has published over 100 refereed articles and book chapters and he has presented his research nationally and internationally.
On August 13, Dr. Andrews received the Webster Pendergrass Outstanding Service Award from the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. The award recognizes a teaching, research or extension faculty member who has contributed most to the fulfillment of the Institute's goals and objectives.
The nomination noted his lengthy service to equine research, his education of horse owners, practitioners and veterinary students and his leadership in the Institute of Agriculture. He contributed significant service to the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Institute of Agriculture during his 20 years at the University of Tennessee.
The fact that his colleagues wanted to honor his service before he began a new phase of his career as director of equine health sciences at Louisiana State University is further recognition of his impact on the University.
