AMA membership for physicians of Indian heritage

2 Min Read

When you join the American Medical Association (AMA), you’ll join the nation’s largest and most influential physician organization, representing the interests of physicians practicing in the United States. When members of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) join the AMA, it enhances the voice of the AAPI in the AMA House of Delegates on critical issues at the federal and state level, including: 

  1. Medicare reform

  2. Support for international medical graduates (IMGs)

  3. Improving public health

In his inaugural address as AMA president, Bobby Mukkamala, MD, reflects on his personal and professional journey in medicine—as the child of immigrant parents from India, a private practice physician in Flint, Michigan, and brain cancer patient—to highlight the need for systemic changes in health care. 

Our health system needs the input of many skilled physicians—physician leaders across every state and specialty—who are working together with incredible purpose and urgency. 

It needs the AMA more than ever … leaders in our profession speaking with one firm and commanding voice.
