Use of Electronic Learning Modules Can Improve Medical Trainee Knowledge Regarding Anaphylaxis Diagnosis and Treatment

Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening, systemic hypersensitivity reaction that is frequently underdiagnosed, underreported, and undertreated by medical professionals1. A recent study by Lindor et al. has shown that medical errors in the setting of anaphylaxis can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Although the prevalence of anaphylaxis-related hospitalizations has significantly increased over the past 20 years2,3, there remains limited graduate medical education (GME) curriculum dedicated to allergy/immunology (A/I) topics, including anaphylaxis4,5.
