Physician-led

Clinical-first

Partner-focused

Founded by Dr. Michael Dinkels, CCTM was built to bridge the gap between high-acuity patient needs and the increasing strain on hospital staffing. We aren't just a technology provider; we are a clinical partner integrated at the bedside.

Our clinical philosophy: The three A’s

At CCTM, we believe that elite critical care is defined by more than just clinical knowledge. It is defined by how we show up for your team and your patients. We hold our intensivists to the highest standard of practice, built on the three pillars of medical excellence:

Ability

Uncompromising clinical expertise. Every CCTM intensivist is board-certified and vetted for high-acuity environments, ensuring your ICU patients receive the highest standard of care, regardless of the hour.

Availability

We are your 2:00 AM safety net. Our systems are designed for immediate bedside connectivity, providing your hospitalists and nursing teams with specialist support exactly when they need it most.

Affability

Integration over disruption. We don’t just "log in"; we join your team. We pride ourselves on building strong, collaborative relationships with your local providers, respecting your culture, and supporting your staff without friction.

Led by Michael Dinkels, MD

Dr. Dinkels founded CCTM with a simple vision: to provide rural and community hospitals with the same level of specialist oversight found in major academic centers. By prioritizing clinical integrity over corporate growth, CCTM remains a high-touch, physician-led practice.

Solving the crisis of care

The traditional staffing model is strained. Between the high cost of locums and the burnout of local hospitalists, facilities are often forced to transfer patients they have the capacity to treat—if only they had the specialist backup. CCTM was founded to solve this problem, keeping care local, budgets stable, and patients safe.
