PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear members of IAPA,

It brings me great pleasure and pride to assume the presidency of IAPA from 2023 to 2025. Since its establishment in the late 1970s, our organization has been at the forefront of representing Indian-origin psychiatrists and their interests in the USA. Our organization is vibrant, particularly during the APA annual          meeting, where many of our members and potential members present their research on various topics. The 2023 IAPA annual meeting organized by my predecessor, Dr. Bhagi Sahasranaman, in San Francisco renewed the sense that we are eager to meet and collaborate

To secure a bright future, we must remain united and continuously enhance our membership while emphasizing the value of being a member.
