It presents an approach to managing simple and complex febrile seizures, as well as outlining red flags that may present in a patient. It was created by Katharine Jensen, a medical student at the University of Alberta, with the help of Dr. Natarie Liu, a neurologist and Epileptologist at the University of Alberta.
