The Association of Physicians of India (API) is a professional body of consultant physicians formed in 1944. Its members are physicians with postgraduate qualifications in different specialties. Currently the membership of the association is 22,000 and it is increasing every year. Obviously this Association is the most elite physician's fraternity in India. This Association conducts various educational and professional activities for its members throughout the year. The API is a professional body of consultant physicians formed in 1944.
The vision of a few stalwart Physicians of India gave birth to the idea of forming the Association of Physicians of India in 1944 mainly to provide a common forum to the Physicians of India to meet and to share experience and research observations in the field of Medicine.
The Indian College of Physicians (ICP) is the academic wing of API. The purpose of ICP is to actively promote and facilitate “continuing professional development” of the physicians of this country. The college plays an important role in commissioning rules / recommendations and publishing monographs.
Physicians Research Foundation (PRF) proposed in 2015, is the research wing of API. The purpose of PRF is to encourage research including experimental work in the science of medicine. The supervisory role of this division over institutions is in an attempt to promote the study of research pertaining to issues under medical science. It may undertake these operations both directly, or indirectly.
