Course Overview: The AMAT (Allergy and Anaphylaxis Medication Administration Training) Course covers skills that can help you treat asthma and allergy symptoms and emergencies. This course covers administering all over-the-counter oral liquid and tablet medications (including Zyrtec and Benadryl), metered-dose inhalers, and the EpiPen epinephrine auto-injector. These skills are ALSO COVERED in  the MAT, MAT IS and MAT First Renewal courses.
