Dr. Anneka Hooft cares for children in the emergency department.

Hooft's research focuses on decision making during the care of sick children and related behavioral influences on both health care providers and caregivers, especially in resource-limited settings.

She completed a residency in pediatrics at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland and a fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
