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.

51. Annie Andrews, MD, MSCR - Pediatrician on running for Congress, then starting a Political Action Committee focused on children
Annie Andrews, MD, MSCR, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Medicine, Pediatric Hospitalist at MUSC Health and ran for the Congressional seat of SC-1 in 2022. After the election she founded a political action committee (PAC), one of the first focused on children, called ‘Their Future. Our Vote.’
We talk through her decision to shift careers away from medicine and run for Congress as well as her campaign experience. In addition to being a pediatrician she is recognized as an expert in gun violence prevention. We also talk through her next pursuit of a new PAC focused on children. While she doesn’t plan to continue practicing medicine full-time, she’s found a way to advocate and take care of children in a new way!
