Georgia Association of Physicians of Indian Heritage (GAPI) was first established in 1987. From informal meetings it became a fully organized entity due to vision of our founding physicians. It has been in existence for over 20 years and now serves more then 1200 physicians across all of Georgia. We have more then 300 life members.

The main purpose of GAPI is to serve our members and other physicians of Indian Heritage in different ways including:

• Promote scientific, educational, civic and professional activities.
• Provide a forum for sharing information of common interest.
• Act as a liaison between various professional organizations in USA and India.

Our annual meeting is usually held in April of each year when a new executive committee is elected. In addition we keep several regional meetings across Georgia to provide access to as many members as possible.

The GAPI Charitable Foundation Provides Merit and need based scholarships to several students each year.
