PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear IAPA Members, Colleagues and Friends,
It is my honor to serve as your President for the term 2025-2027.
My journey in the Indo-American Psychiatric Association started in Philadelphia when I was a resident. Over the years, I became involved locally, then nationally and soon, the IAPA became a place where I have found mentors, colleagues and friends for life. It is my privilege to be a part of this organization that started as an initiative by six psychiatrists of Indian origin and is now a nationally recognized organization representing Psychiatrists of Indian origin.
I believe that as an organization, we are at the precipice of change. We have a growing younger membership, a leadership team with younger leaders, a strong national presence and an opportunity to embrace a vision that supports the professional and personal growth of our membership.
