We describe a case of a 36-year-old man with a history of chronic hepatitis C who presented with abdominal pain 3 days after undergoing a percutaneous ultrasound-guided liver biopsy. Initial investigations revealed a venobiliary fistula with haemobilia and obstructive jaundice with direct bilirubin peaking at 9.2 mg/dL. He underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy and stent placement, bilirubin decreased to 3.7 mg/dL, and the patient was discharged. The patient returned with recurrent abdominal pain and upper gastrointestinal bleeding with haemoglobin of 8.6 g/dL, requiring multiple transfusions. He underwent transcatheter arterial embolisation but continued bleeding. Radiofrequency ablation was pursued and was able to achieve haemostasis. The patient was discharged. The patient returned again with a fever of 39.2 degrees C and was found to have a large right hepatic lobe abscess. The patient underwent abscess drainage with drain placement and was treated with antibiotics for 6 weeks. He followed up in the clinic with resolution of symptoms and infection.

Introduction/UNASSIGNED:The growth of medical schools, faculty attrition, and reports of student disinterest in academia all stress the need to cultivate the next generation of academic physicians. Because medical educators serve as the largest segment of faculty, heightening diverse students' awareness of opportunities to engage in various educational roles and scholarship may help them consider future academic positions. Methods/UNASSIGNED:We implemented a workshop utilizing didactics and a small-group case discussion to help students learn how to (1) define educational scholarship and portfolios, (2) recognize the value of educational scholarship, and (3) identify how to get started with educational scholarship. Results/UNASSIGNED:< .01) before and after the workshop. Discussion/UNASSIGNED:Diverse learners appreciated a heightened awareness of educational roles and scholarship, which may help them gain confidence, interest, and experience in becoming future medical educators.
