History of TIPS SW Chapter
Texas Indo American Physician Society
It was in the 1970’s that physicians from India first started migrating to the U. S. and began establishing themselves in various fields. They faced overt as well as subtle discrimination in residency, recruitment, and license reciprocity. Physicians in many states organized to fight this unfair treatment. In the State of Michigan, physicians from India took the lead to form an association called MAPI in 1976. Various other organizations such as India Association of Illinois, Indian Medical Association (IMA) of New England, were founded around the same period.
