The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) is a professional association for Indian American physicians. The association is based in Chicago and was founded in 1984. It claims a membership of 52,000 physicians. Doctors of Indian OriginThere are currently (as of 2005) 40,838 doctors of Indian origin in the United States of America and they account for 5% of all doctors in the USA and 20% of all International Medical Graduates employed in the US workforce. It is noteworthy that India provides the largest number of International Medical Graduates to the US in absolute numbers. More generally, India has been one of the most important source country of medical doctors for the advanced countries since the 1960s.[1] With 59,523 physicians of Indian origin working in the English speaking Western world (the US, UK, Australia and Canada combined) in 2004, India was by far the single largest source of emigrated physicians in the world.[2] Jagdish Tytler ControversyIn June 2004, AAPI became involved in a controversy for its invitation to Indian Minister for NRI Affairs Jagdish Tytler to be honored at a dinner gala.{{cn|date=April 2013}} Various human rights and Sikh groups threatened to hold demonstrations at the venue and the invitation to Jagdish Tytler was withdrawn.[3] Tytler resigned from the Indian government after being indicted by the official Nanavati Commission of inciting mobs for violence.[4][5][6] References1. ^{{Cite article |author=Basant Potnuru |url=http://www.ijph.in/article.asp?issn=0019-557X |year=2017 |volume=61 |issue=3 |pages=182–187 |title=Aggregate availability of doctors in India: 2014–2030 |journal=Indian Journal of Public Health}} 2. ^{{Cite journal | doi=10.1056/NEJMsa050004| pmid=16251537| title=The Metrics of the Physician Brain Drain| journal=New England Journal of Medicine| volume=353| issue=17| pages=1810–1818| year=2005| last1=Mullan| first1=Fitzhugh}} 3. ^I n d i a P o s t . c o m 4. ^http://www.witness84.com/doc/aapi.doc 5. ^Nanavati report: Credible evidence against Tytler 6. ^"United States Should Not Let Tytler Enter Country" - Statement by New York Representative Edolphus Towns in US Congress External links
