Unscripted
Welcome to Unscripted. I’m Lindsey Amerine, PharmD, MS, BCPS, CPEL, FASHP, FHOPA, and I’ve been a pharmacist for 14 years and in leadership roles for even longer. Throughout my career, the one thing I consistently enjoy is one-on-one conversations. Finding out people’s passions and what gets them excited. This podcast is to represent those conversations authentically. This isn’t a platform presentation so the conversation will be casual, just people having a conversation. The pharmacist in me will ensure I'm prepared for the guests that join though. The podcast will naturally feature conversations with those in pharmacy, medicine, and leadership, but it is not limited to that. I have a wide array of interests outside my professional affiliations and will capture those in this podcast. Become a part of the unscripted community where we can be ourselves and cover diverse topics through great conversation.

27. Rebekah Fenton, MD, FAAP - Supporting Trainees, Creating Equitable and Inclusive Work Environments
Rebekah Fenton, MD, FAAP, is a board certified pediatrician and adolescent medicine fellow at the Lurie Children’s Hospital at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.
She wrote her story of being the First Black Fellow at her institution in a Medium post. Her story is one of being overly supervised and under supported leaving her to receive feedback to toughen it out. The pervasive loneliness and feeling unseen is a heartbreaking read, yet one that connects with so many. When I saw her post through Twitter I hoped for the best for her, but wasn’t sure where her writing her story would lead. You'll hear the response she's received following the article and her plans for the future. I am grateful she took the time to talk with me and share her story so that it either resonates with you or you can learn from the experience and making others feel seen and supported.
She also wrote an article on how to promote equity and inclusion. Please check out both of her articles!
