Fish Bone-Induced Pancreatitis.

Fish bone-induced pancreatitis is an uncommon cause of pancreatitis, with only a few reported cases in the literature. The patients with the highest risk for fish bone-induced pancreatitis include those from cultures where unfilleted fish is a culinary delicacy. The etiology of foreign body-induced pancreatitis is very common, secondary to inflammation of the duodenal papilla or bile duct obstruction.

Cultural competency training has been a focus of medical schools for some time. An essential step in developing culturally competent physicians, effective cultural competency training has previously been researched at medical schools. Before forming a diversity task force to head cultural competency training, one medical school utilized medical student volunteers to review current teaching material and provide suggestions to increase cultural competency training.
