MO KASTI CEO of Physician Leadership Institute FIRM PROFILE CTI was created in 2005, as part of USF Health at the University of South Florida. CTI’s mission was to accelerate the transformation of how healthcare is delivered and understood. Our initial purpose was to serve as a transformation resource for the physician leaders of USF Health. However, CTI’s reputation quickly spread and we began offering our solutions to organizations outside of the university. In 2008, CTI began operating as a stand-alone entrepreneurial entity. Since then, we’ve grown by more than 1,000 percent and our client base has expanded across the country and internationally. As a result, on July 1, 2012, CTI took the next step and became an independent company (LLC) with the same mission to transform organizations and leaders. CTI Leadership has been recognized as a leader in physician leadership training.
