            Tampa, FL
                  he American Association of Physicians of In-
                  dian Origin (AAPI) has officially opened reg-
            Tistration for its highly anticipated 2026 Annual
            Convention & Scientific Assembly, set to take place
            July 2–5, 2026, in Tampa, Florida. AAPI President
            Dr. Amit Chakrabarty, stated, “The 2026 convention
            with the theme, ‘Stronger Together: United in Care,
            Undivided in Care,’ signals the beginning of what is
            expected to be one of the most significant gatherings
            in the organization’s fourdecade history.”
                     A Convention Designed to Inspire
                In his message to members, Dr. Chakrabarty de-
            scribed the Tampa convention as “the crowning jewel
            of everything we’ve built together,” emphasizing that
            “the event will blend scientific excellence, cultural
            celebration, and national pride. The timing is espe-
            cially meaningful: the convention coincides with the
            250th anniversary of America’s independence, and
            AAPI has partnered with the City of Tampa to mark
            the milestone with a redcarpet civic reception hon-
            oring the IndianAmerican physician community.”
                  CuttingEdge CME and Scientific Innovation
                “Physicians and healthcare professionals from
            across the country and internationally will convene
            to participate in the scholarly exchange of medical
            advances,  develop  health  policy  agendas,  and  en-
