My guest today is Dr. Dan Dworkis.  Dan is a board-certified emergency physician, an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the founder of The Emergency Mind Project, and the Chief Medical Officer at the Mission Critical Team Institute. Dan performed his emergency medicine residency with Harvard Medical School at the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency at Massachusetts General Hospital / Brigham Health and holds an MD and PhD in molecular medicine from the Boston University School of Medicine.

Dan is the author of The Emergency Mind: Wiring Your Brain for Performance Under Pressure.  He is also the host of The Emergency Mind podcast.
I am excited to have Dan on the debrief because he not only has a unique blend of scientist and practitioner but is someone who has thought very deeply about how our minds work in critical incidents.  Additionally, through his work with Mission Critical Team Institute he has looked at how those principles apply to tactical operators and first responders.
