About
Mission Critical Medicine (MCM) combines applied research with operational insight to help build and support high-performance medical teams operating in crisis and complexity across civilian and military environments. We focus on the skills, structures, strategies, and cultures that enable teams to perform when the stakes are high, the timelines are short, and the margin for error is slim.
MCM is the medically focused division of the Mission Critical Team Institute (MCTI), and is lead by MCTI's Chief Medical Officer, Dan Dworkis MD PhD.
MCTI was founded in 2016 at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania at the request of specific teams within the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to help better understand how to transition their most elite operators into exceptional instructors. In 2018, it transitioned into the current independent institute and broadened its scope of offerings. MCTI serves a specific cohort of teams, primarily, within aerospace, military special operations, tactical law enforcement, urban and wildland fire fighting, medicine, and sport. MCTI is lead by Preston Cline EdD
