Abstract
Lives of patients with life-threatening food allergies can be saved by providing epinephrine auto injector training. Correct and prompt administration of epinephrine is the only treatment for anaphylaxis. Learning to incorporate this training into primary care visits will ultimately improve the care of patients with life-threatening food allergies.
