Celebrating 32 Years of Excellence Who We Were

AAPI was founded in the midst of challenges that physicians of Indian Origin faced due to cultural barriers and bias against international medical graduates. Those barriers created obstacles for immigration and licensing opportunities. In 1982 a group of concerned medical professionals founded the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin with a simple goal to work for a level playing field for the international medical graduates. Today, the organization is a dynamic body, spearheading legislative agendas and influencing the advancement of medical care in the US and globally through advocating for increasing physician work force, participating in national health initiatives such as obesity prevention and investing in global health education.

Where We Are
American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) is the largest non-profit ethnic medical organization in the United States. It represents the interests of over 60,000 practicing physicians and 20,000 medical students, residents, and fellows of Indian origin in the United States. It also serves as an umbrella organization for over 160 component associations situated in every state. AAPI members have been practicing in inner city medically underserved locations, rural communities around the country and urban areas. Every one in seven patients in the country is seen by an Indian physician. Indian physicians form an impressive number in academics renowned for teaching excellence, cutting edge research and patient care.

National Reach Through Component Chapters

AAPI serves as an umbrella organization for a network of over 160 component chapters; alumni, state and regional chapter associations, and specialty organizations. These Associations are located in 12 regions across the United States, each with a Regional Director on the AAPI Executive Committee who is responsible for communication and coordination of local events and activities.

AAPI Charitable Foundation - The Flagship of the Organization

Through the assistance and hard work of several dedicated and distinguished AAPI Physicians, the AAPI Charitable Foundation was established in 1992. Our Foundation was designed to provide an infrastructure support system for needy patients in India with two main goals: first goal was to commit their time and resources to support the clinics for the indigent; and our second goal was to monitor effectively the clinics progress and be accountable for the overall success of the project. AAPI-CF oversees 19 clinics in as many states, including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. The clinics vary in size and type with an average of 20,000 patients being treated at the clinic facilities every year. In fact, more than a million patients have received much needed medical care in India, thanks to on-site and outreach programs conducted by these 19 medical clinics. www.aapicharitablefoundation.org
