In North Dakota, who must provide the training to administer epinephrine?

In North Dakota, the law requires that training to administer epinephrine be provided by a licensed physician. This is based on the understanding that the administration of epinephrine, particularly in emergency situations like anaphylaxis, involves specific medical knowledge and skills that should be imparted by a qualified healthcare professional. A licensed physician can ensure that individuals receiving this training are adequately informed about the recognition of symptoms, dosing, and the proper technique for administering the injection.

Additionally, while community organizations may facilitate training or provide resources, and school administrators may organize such activities, it is the responsibility of a licensed physician to deliver the training to ensure that it is medically sound and accurate. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards in the state and promotes safety for those who may need to administer epinephrine in an emergency.
