Katherine M Andreeff

Katherine M Andreeff serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she contributes to clinical education and pediatric emergency medicine training.

Her research focuses on acute pediatric neurological conditions with specialization in seizure management. Key areas include:

• Pediatric seizure pathophysiology and classification (febrile seizures, status epilepticus)
• Emergency department protocols for pediatric neurological emergencies
• Team-based learning curriculum development for resident physicians
• Management of complications including hyponatremic seizures and VP shunt malfunctions
• Interdisciplinary care coordination between emergency medicine and pediatrics
• Educational assessment methodologies in medical training

Dr. Andreeff has pioneered innovative educational approaches, particularly through team-based learning modules addressing complex pediatric seizure scenarios that require differential diagnosis across multiple etiologies ranging from benign febrile episodes to life-threatening conditions requiring ICU admission.
