Episode 60: Answering the Call—A Life of Purpose in Pharmacy with Dr. Earl Ettienne
Episode 60
Monday, 12 January, 2026

On this episode of the IPhO Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Earl Ettienne, Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs and Industrial Partnerships at Howard University, and a nationally respected pharmacy leader, researcher, educator, and mentor. As a child, Dr. Ettienne did not see the remedy prepared, but he witnessed its impact. After his godfather suffered severe burns, a pharmacist’s custom mixture helped save his life, inspiring Dr. Ettienne to pursue pharmacy and help others. Dr. Ettienne recalls and recounts the name of everyone who impacted his life. He remembers every opportunity he was given, and every challenge he overcame. He places an incredible amount of importance on trust, integrity, and resiliency. And he shares his best advice and most personal, meaningful experiences with us on this podcast episode. This is one you don't want to miss!
