In June 2025, we were pleased to welcome Dustin Le, Pharm.D., as an Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice.

Le is the first faculty member in our young history to also be a CUSP alumnus after earning his Doctor of Pharmacy in 2020*. Before attending Chapman University, Le completed his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of California, Riverside.

Le serves as the Lead Emergency Medicine Pharmacist at Rady Children’s Hospital – Orange County, where he practices in the Emergency Department, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU). Prior to Rady Children’s Hospital, Le served as a pharmacist in both the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department at Harbor UCLA Medical Center.

In addition to his clinical role, Le teaches in Nephrology, collaborates with other colleges and schools at Chapman University for interprofessional events and educational activities, as well as serves as the faculty advisor for CSHP/ASHP-SSHP.

Le takes joy in mentoring Pharm.D. students in research, leadership, and professional development.

His contributions to pharmacy were recognized when he was named Pharmacist of the Year at CHOC (now, Rady Children’s Hospital – Orange County) in 2023. His academic and clinical interests in emergency medicine, acute care pharmacotherapy, toxicology, and pediatrics make him a strong addition to our faculty.

Please join us in welcoming Le to CUSP!
