THIS COURSE HAS BEEN RETIRED. 

AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS COURSE CAN BE FOUND IN THE SCHOOL HEALTH & CHILD HEALTH CATEGORY.

Anaphylaxis is life-threatening when students do not have the tools to treat symptoms effectively. Schools keep stock epinephrine auto-injectors in the event that a student is experiencing any symptoms associated with anaphylaxis and do not have access to their own epinephrine auto-injector. This e-learning course provides mandatory training for school personnel designated to administer the epinephrine auto-injector.

Learning Objectives

This training has been developed to assist in teaching school staff about anaphylaxis and administration of the stock epinephrine auto-injector. After completing the course, learners will be able to:

• Recognize anaphylaxis
  
• Identify symptoms
  
• Administer epinephrine
  
• Complete the following school action steps:
  

     - Post-event evaluation report
     - Annual staff training
     - School’s stock epinephrine maintenance

We hope this course helps increase preparedness and confidence of school personnel to take proper action with their stock epinephrine when an event of anaphylaxis occurs.
